i think the major reason is to show the local american dancers what is real bharatanatyam.

you see, an excellent dancer in chennai starts learning dance from 5-6 y.o. then spends 2-3 hours daily - daily! sometimes more than 3 hours. by the age of 20 such dancers are superb - and everybody notices it.

this is why no lazy and superficial american dancer can compare with them.

and this is why the NRI's mostly prefer to see authentic and masterful dancers from india who do not put exhorbinant monetary demand.
