TAAL takes its name from the Hindu word used to describe rhythmic patterns used in Indian classical music. It was conceived and produced in 2003 by Preeti Gill, a 2005 graduate of HB, as part of her Edna Dawley Strnad '42 Fellowship in Creativity. Since that time it has been lovingly nurtured and curated by HB's Upper School Dance Department. The program was launched to highlight the culture of India and to honor the memory of Joti Sawhny, class of '92. All proceeds benefit The Joti Sawhny Memorial Fund at HB which not only sustains TAAL, but also provides additional resources for international travel for students.
