JASHAN A Celebration

In Hindi, jashan means celebration. Every year, M.A.D. Bollywood Studio celebrates its students on a prestigious platform with colors, lights, and applause. This year M.A.D takes us on a journey through India as Jashan explores different forms of dances, each characteristic of different parts of the nation. We have the powerful yet sensual Lavani dance from the state of Maharashtra, the colorful and folksy Bhangra from the state of Punjab, Kathak - the dance of storytelling from the northern states, as well as the graceful and spiritual Manipuridance from the state of Manipur. Stay tuned for a detailed history of each of these dance forms, along with each group of dancers’ progress in mastering these dance forms. M.A.D. Bollywood promises a colorful festival of traditional and contemporary Indian music, dance, and culture, with Chief Guest of Honor, Terence Lewis.
