"This is a fascinating addition to 20th century dance history, as well as an extraordinary east-west saga and the chronicle of a remarkable
family. Sukanya Rahman, who had a ringside seat for many of the adventures she records here, writes with abundant charm, humor and insight."
Laura Shapiro, author and dance critic

...I loved it - it's a really lovely work of love - the image of your American grandmother - riding around, broke, with a troupe and costumes all over India is haunting - such eccentric courage!
Ruth Prawer Jhabvala



Dancing in the Family
An Unconventional Memoir of Three Women
By Sukanya Rahman

Cover design
Ram Rahman/Sukanya Rahman

"...a funny engaging memoir of three generations of unconventional women — Ragini Devi, Indrani Rahman and Sukanya... it deserves to be read, not merely because it is about extraordinary women set against the changing historical backdrop of Indian classical dance, but primarily because it is a story well told..."
The Hindu


Indrani, Ragini and Sukanya, Three Generations Performance, New York University Theatre, September 29, 1979
