SAFFIRE BOUCHELION

A Professional DJ, Performer, and Percussionist. He is a 1st Degree Black Belt Nia Instructor who has been passionately practicing Nia for 25 years and teaching and performing internationally for 17 years. Ten years ago Saffire was introduced to the HandPan and it was love at first “Din”! The HandPan is pure Metal Magic.

Their very sound is alchemical in nature as metal becomes water becomes air. Their depth and range never ceases to amaze and enchant. I am so grateful for their gift to the world and seek to share that gift whenever I get the chance.

☾ GUIDELINES AT EVERY JAI HO!

Creating a safe & celebratory space is our number one priority at every event we host.

We would love for you to be an accomplice of ours by greeting & treating everyone you meet like you would like to be treated. With equality, mutual respect, and a big smile. We know this does not apply to you because you are awesome but for the other people to whom this may be relevant, we have zero tolerance for bigotry, racist remarks, and generally reckless behavior.

Over the course of the night, Punjabi, Bollywood, South Indian songs, and music from across South Asia (new & old) will make their way into our DJs playlist. So contribute positively, uplift everyone around you, tip your bartenders well, and enjoy the music being played.

We at Bollywood Dreams seek to practice deep regard and respect for the Indigenous Peoples on whose lands we have the opportunity to live, work and play.
