We have partnered with Back2Back India an orphanage in Hyderbad. Their amenities are less than desirable and we hope to raise enough money to enclose their present outdoor kitchen and provide enough plates for the children to eat off of. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the Krohn Conservatory and the Back2Back Orphanage in India.

The dancers will perform medleys from classical, fusion, and Bollywood dance. Indian dance tells a story. Puja will be performing a B'natyam dance from southern India called Natana Adinar. This is typically a temple dance to invoke the blessings of Lord Shiva through structured poses, dance movements and expressive facial emotions.

Other Features: a silent auction, open bar with signature cocktail called the Bollywood Butterfly (gin, mango lusa, and tonic water), Indian Beer, and Indian Wine, appetizers, main course, and dessert all catered by Tandoor.
