Expect a fusion of traditional Garba beats and Bollywood bangers, colorful, energetic, and full of heart. Its non-stop fun entertainment! You won’t want to stop dancing.

Open to all ages, all levels, all backgrounds. Wear your brightest, twirliest outfits or come as you are. Free to attend, just bring your joy, your people, and your dancing feet!

Come casual or dressed. No pressure. Beginner friendly. Walk ins and people who have never done Garba (a circular Indian dance) more than welcome. We will do multiple lessons throughout the day and have performances party after each lesson.

Dress as you want Indian or Non-Indian, no pressure, be comfortable. Let’s fill Union Square with color, culture, and connection. This is more than a dance, it’s a celebration of culture, community, and love.
