Jai Ho! Dance Party – The most joyful Bollywood dance party experience across many cities in the US since 2010.
Get transported to an experience that is akin to being in a Bollywood musical complete with interactive dance lessons, performances & non-stop hard-hitting beats from the east. Founded in 2010 by Prashant, an immigrant turned DJ, & like minded friends, Jai Ho! is a celebration of Indian music & dance like no other. At its core are the values of inclusivity and sharing positive vibes by bringing the best of Indian culture to the dancefloor. The innovative themes that set Jai Ho! apart are transforming American nightlife bringing to it festive elements like Holi Colors & Dandiya Sticks. We invite you to be goofy, smile, make friends on the dance floor, and of course, to sing and dance ALL. NIGHT. LONG.
Jai Ho! is the only Bollywood dance party that regularly tours across the US in Portland, Seattle, SF, LA, San Diego, New Orleans, Eugene, Denver & more being added. Jai Ho! Dance Party is a branch & creation of the production house-team, Bollywood Dreams Entertainment.

║COVID-19 Entrance Requirement ║
State of California guidelines will be enforced.
║General Guidelines @ Every JAI HO!║
Creating a safe & celebratory space is my number one priority at every event I host.
And I would love for you to be an accomplice of mine by greeting & treating everyone like you would like to be treated. With equality, mutual respect, and a big smile.
I know this does not apply to you because you are awesome but for the other people to whom it may be relevant to, I have zero tolerance for bigotry, racist remarks, and reckless behavior including but not limited to fighting, inappropriate touch, etc.
Anyone found engaging in such behavior will be thrown out at once & may never be able to attend my dance parties again.
If you see something, say something by bringing it to the attention of the venue staff or me directly. <3
