Since visitors from all over the world will attend, I want to present various Indian styles and also add fusion elements to the performance."
The importance of these performances is not lost on Rasha Goel, Yogen's partner in dance and in life.

Yogen recently signed on as choreographer with Nuclear Mango Studios for the film, "Politics of Love." He has also appeared on "Ellen" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" and was featured last month in "Variety."
