Samovar Dance Company and Samovar East Dance Company: Samovar was formed in 2005 to give Ruric's advanced students a performance outlet. Since then, Samovar has evolved into two high-energy performance groups bringing authentic and experimental belly dance and Bollywood to dozens of events in Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio. Company members train and rehearse every week and participate in Studio classes and workshops as well. This focus on authentic dance technique and constant practice has molded Samovar and Samovar East into close-knit dance companies whose performances entertain, move and delight.

ANU: Eligible students whose schedules are too complex to let them dance with Samovar can join Anu, which has the same goals as Samovar but on a less intense schedule.
The goals for ANU are the same as for Samovar: excellent dancers dancing excellently together. ANU has its own rehearsals and choreographies, tailored to the time and skill set of the dancers.
