The first Dandiya Raas ever organized by SSA was a great success. Hemina Shah melodied the evening with traditional Dandiya numbers. D J Govin rocked the scene with his brilliant music. Seema Balani from Dancin' Feet led the crowd through some funtastic moves. All in all an event blasting with tremendous energy. The pictures below captured beautifully by Jacky Ganwani say it all. Lots of prizes multiplied the joy and excitement of an already elated crowd.

We thank our Sponsors Just Nail It, Dancin' Feet, Jewels By Shobha P, B's Birthdays & Bashes, Doulatram’ s Tailors, Mughal Mahal, Hanggy Foods, Harry Gurnani from Lucky Store, Raj Thakurdas, Vashi Chandiramani for their generosity and support.
