In the rise of the pandemic, SDA did a number of virtual workshops dedicated solely to support and give back to our community in USA and India.
Our successes at these workshops and the love from all our patrons gave birth to our new division SDA Gives Back.
Volunteering gives Team SDA a sense of purpose.
The fulfilling feeling of giving back and contributing to society is unparalleled.
Giving back has been a great way for SDA and its teammates to connect with others in our community and collaborate with them on causes that they hold close to their heart.

North Indian Classical Music (Uttar Hindustani Shashtriya Sangeet) comes from the northern areas of India, with the origins dating back to sacred Vedic scriptures over 6,000 years ago.
We are so excited to bring to you our SurTaal class which is a Hindustani Classical Music class that revolves around the 7 Swaras.
Students are taught about the foundation of Swaras and accompanying Alankars across vocals.
This advances into learning and harmonizing various genres of songs: classical and non-classical across Hindi & English.
