Vishwa Shanthi Performing Arts (VSPA), led by Artistic Director Shreelata Suresh, has performed at numerous events for diverse audiences both in the United States and internationally. Through various productions presented with a fresh and innovative perspective, we continually strive to showcase dance and allied arts in their purest form.

We have performed for several years at the prestigious San Francisco Ethnic Dance Festival after successfully winning their competitive auditions. VSPA dancers have performed at the International Dance Festival in Prague, winning awards in both solo and group categories. We have also performed at the December Music and Dance Festivals in Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, and New Delhi.

Through thematic presentations, VSPA has completed several successful fundraisers for cultural, various religious denominations, and medical research institutions in the Bay Area, including the Shiva Murugan Temple in Concord, Sivananda Yoga Farm, Mercy Center, Shadika, the Brain Tumor Foundation, and the Shiva Vishnu Temple in Livermore.

A hallmark of VSPA performances is the use of the entire space—movement accompanied by effortless formation changes, with flashes of speed interspersed with graceful stillness. The audience is often left mesmerized by the dancers’ symmetry and synchronized movements, dramatic expressions, and ability to convey the story even to uninitiated viewers. In short, the entire experience is akin to a form of collective meditation, centered on beauty, movement, sacred music, harmony, and rhythm.
