Konark Dance School was founded by Jayantee Paine-Ganguly in 1998 in Virginia and Maryland. Konark's mission is to offer training in Indian classical dance styles and to spread knowledge and awareness of Indian culture. The school offers classes to students of all ages in Odissi and Kathak. Members of Konark also perform frequently in the greater Washington, D.C., area through the school's affiliated dance troupe, Jayantika Dance Company.
The dance school's name comes from the ancient sun temple of Konark, which is built in the shape of a chariot, and features an enormous dance hall upon which are carved numerous sculptures of dancers.
