UW Kahaani during a performance
Meet UW Kahaani- A dance group performing for the FIUTS CulturalFest Performance Showcase.
“UW Kahaani is a competitive Bollywood fusion dance team that competes around the nation. We perform a variety of different dance forms, such as Jazz, Hip-hop, Classical, Contemporary, Latin, etc. We aim to demonstrate Indian culture by performing a Bollywood fusion routine that ties back to our roots.
We hope the audience can follow along with our storyline and understand how each choice of dance style and song connects to India as well as make sense in the context of the storyline. Overall, we want to showcase Bollywood by connecting it with other types of dance forms and bringing a fresh perspective to the stage.”
