South Asian Showdown Gears Up For Dance Show


02/01/2010

If you like South Asian Dance and want to see some of the most competitive dance teams in North America, don’t miss South Asian Showdown! This competition is the first of its kind in North America with Bhangra teams vs Fusion teams vs Garba/Raas teams vs Hindi-Film/Bollywood teams!  These different dance forms makeup some of the most popular dance forms in India and if you want to see which dance style wins, come check out the competition on Saturday, February 20th, 2010 at the John Hancock Theatre in Boston!

 

The concept of Showdown is to put the best dance teams from each South Asian genre against one another to see who wins!  Bhangra is a folk dance from the Punjab region of India.  Fusion is a conglomeration of all South Asian dance and any other dance form that the team chooses to use.  Garba/Raas is a folk dance from the Gujrat region of India.  Hindi-Film/Bollywood is the dance form originating from the Bollywood film industry in Mumbai.  Bring all of these dance forms together and having them all compete against one another will show everyone attending just how talented and unique South Asian dance truly is.

 

South Asian Showdown, SAS for short, will have teams from all over North America competing to be crowned the Showdown Champion.  Teams from California, Illinois, Maryland, Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, and Boston will all show the Boston audience some of the best dances they have seen all year!

To add even more excitement to the event, we will have a very unique performance from the Prince of Pop!  We’ll leave the rest as a surprise until you see him on Saturday, February 20th, 2010! 

Bollywood Grill will be the food vendor of choice as they will be selling snacks, dinner and drinks at the venue, so come hungry so that you can enjoy their fantastic food!

Also, the show is being advertised on Pan Desi!  They will also be airing the show on television by April, 2010 nationally across North America!  This is one of the few competitions to have television advertising and airing throughout various parts of the globe!  

This is the first year for this fun and unique competition! This is not a show that you want to miss!  The tickets will range in price from $20 for general admission through $35 for VIP.  This is very cheap for a show that will be highlighted with more than 3 hours of exciting South Asian Dance!

Pan Desi, Taj Hotels, and Bollywood Grill are some of the bigger sponsors that have helped to make this show a reality.

We look forward to seeing you at the John Hancock Theatre on February 20th, 2010!  Buy your tickets early before they’re sold out!  For more information, visit www.southasianshowdown.com.  You can also e-mail: info@southasianshowdown.com, or call 617-448-2508 for more information.
