Graduation 2020: A Bollywood Dance Party!
While we are celebrating graduates, this party is open to all! It will feature a mix of Bollywood & American Top 40 music. ????
Class of 2020 – we are so proud of you for all you’ve accomplished. Let’s celebrate!
We’ve had the fortune of interacting with lots of high school students through Bollywood music & dance, and we’re devastated that this year’s amazing graduating seniors have had their year cut short by the Coronavirus pandemic. In hopes of bringing joy and celebration to the living rooms of students & their families, we’re hosting our own Graduation Party for the Class of 2020: a Virtual one w/ DJ Prashant!
Seniors: this year is a rite of passage for young adults moving onto the next stage in their lives, and with COVID-19 imposing restrictions on gathering for school and extracurricular activities, we stand with you in anger and sadness.
As the Class of 2020, you have shown so much grace and maturity in finishing your last year of high school strong amidst unprecedented circumstances. Now is the time to come together – virtually, of course – and celebrate you and your achievements!
Family & Friends of Graduates: Give your Seniors a shoutout! We encourage you to Zoom with us and celebrate with signs, song requests, and anything you think will make this experience special.

One-of-a-kind Bollywood showman, Prashant sings, dances & DJs with a simple agenda, to make people dance all night long. This charismatic performer instantly strikes a chord with audiences of all ages & nationalities. The interactive dance lessons cleverly disguised in his DJ set compel everybody to rock the dance floor, transforming any dance party into a full-fledged Bollywood musical within minutes.

In January 2010, Prashant founded Jai Ho!, an inclusive monthly dance party in Portland, Seattle, San Francisco & San Diego. The innovative themes that set Jai Ho! apart are transforming the nightlife culture of the west coast bringing elements of Indian festive spirit (like Holi Colors, Dandiya Sticks etc) to the nightclub scene. Additionally, Prashant has been teaching dance for over 9 years now, his Portland-based semi-professional dance troupe is as diverse as it gets, united by their love for all things Bollywood.
In his TEDx talk, this Patent holder & Cornell graduate shared his story of transformation from being an Intel engineer to now being celebrated as one the most exuberant Bollywood entertainers across the US. Prashant continues to inspire others to follow their dreams, one dance class/party at a time.
