To bring more attention to the school’s South Asian community, the Desi Culture Group is hosting a Desi Dance Party Nov. 7 from 6-8 p.m. in Judd C116.

“We were looking to do something that would benefit the entire community in a way that would allow us to help raise funds,” said Monika Bahroos, a Lab Schools parent and employee who is helping coordinate the event. 

The event will be free of charge. There is a suggested contribution of $20 for adults and $10 for kids, which will help benefit the Lab Parents fund. 

In celebration of Diwali, the party will offer Bollywood and Bhangra dances and South Indian drinks and food such as dosas.

“Right now we are looking for volunteers to help set up decorations and help with checking in guests,” Ms. Bahroos said.

A photo booth and an instructor teaching the dance moves will be available at the party. Attendees can come dressed in casual attire, and the party hosts will be decked out in Indian clothing and jewelry.
