Thillana is Stony Brook University’s ONLY OFFICIAL South Asian dance troupe and a USG sports club, established since 2004.

Join this group if you love and support Thillana =)

We are a nationally competing team that has performed at Chicago Agni, Princeton Dance Dimensions, Tribeca Performing Arts Center in Manhattan, NaachVention, and many more.

We incorporate all types of dance elements such as classical Indian styles including Bharatnatyam & Kathak, Hip-hop, Bollywood, & much more. It is this blending of these many different cultural dance styles that makes us a unique fusion dance team.

When we compete we aim to send an original & intricate message to our audience through our profound and different dance themes and unique choreography. Through our passion & love for dance we represent Stony Brook University throughout the country and within our student body by creating meaningful and entertaining performances!

“Dance is your pulse, your heartbeat, your soul. It’s the rhythm of your life”
