When Nrityageet 40 is staged this weekend at the National Cultural Centre, it will mark the end of the longest running annual stage show in Guyana

According to the Nadira and Indranie Shah Dance Troupe, Nrityageet 40, which will be held at the National Cultural Centre on May 3rd and May 4th, will be its final annual dance theatre production.

In a statement released on Friday, the Troupe said the decision was taken to discontinue the annual show due to a lack of sustained interest from the business community as well as the Guyanese audience’s “seeming preferences for glamour, glitter and the more popular Indian dance styles.”
