AAPI events abound and range from CelebrASIA to Bollywood fitness.
There's no faster growing population in Austin than its Asian community, a term that includes so many cultures, traditions, and nationalities. That 8% of residents who can trace their family roots back to Asia, or who have moved here as part of the current expansion, represents a thriving component of our cultural life, and May, officially Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, is the perfect time to explore and appreciate more aspects of Austin's diversity.
In Hindu stories Mayura, the sacred peacock, dances in the monsoon. That flash of color and motion inspired Shruti Anand, who took her training in the classical Bharatanatyam school of dancing, added Bollywood flair and yoga's emphasis on limber health, and for the last decade has got bodies moving though Monsoon Dance. Want to move beyond the lessons? Maybe even think about trying out for the Mayur dance team.
The"Best of Austin"-winning comedy troupe Y'All, We Asian wraps up AAPI Heritage Month with a bang and a laugh, with a pupu platter of local and Texan mirthmakers, including the low-key scathing KC Shornima fresh off her killer set at Moontower Just for Laugh's New Faces of Comedy showcase.
