inDANCE is a Toronto-based South Asian dance company established in 1999 as a vehicle to encompass the entire range of artistic director Hari Krishnan's creative output: choreography, performance, touring, and teaching. The primary mandate of inDANCE is to form creative partnerships with Canadian and international collaborators, including choreographers, dancers, musicians, designers, scholars and presenters.

The company's objectives are two-fold:

To produce work that is bold, full of risks and adventurous. Dancers who work with inDANCE come from a variety of dance backgrounds and bring to the company technique and aesthetic expertise that moves the company in ever-expanding directions. The company produces invigorating and progressive dance productions that challenge dominant discourses about culture. The experimental approach of the company addresses and entertains a diverse range of audiences.

To present exponents and scholars of historically-oriented Bharatanatyam in Canada, thereby exposing audiences to the specific origins and historical contexts of the form.
