Indian Dance Recital Saturday

The Yorktown Heights-based Natya Anubhava Academy of Classical Dance will hold a recital 1:30 p.m. Saturday at the Riverfront Library, 1 Larkin Center, Yonkers.

The free recital begins with a variety of pieces in the classical Indian dance form "Bharata Natyam" by students of teacher Nalini Rau. A 40-minute dance drama, "The tale of the cow and the tiger," based on an ancient folk tale, follows.

Rau also teaches Bharata Natyam in Elmsford and White Plains. For more information, call 914-243-7855.
