The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Learn some Bollywood moves, then party with DJ Prashant at the Walters Cultural Arts Center. Open to all ages and dance levels. A family-friendly interactive dance party with DJ Prashant is coming to the Walters Cultural Arts Center. Come early for a dance lesson and stay for the high-energy Bollywood party. Get transported to an experience akin to being in a Bollywood musical, complete with interactive dance lessons, performances and non-stop, hard-hitting beats from the East. Founded in 2010 by Prashant, an immigrant turned DJ, and like-minded friends, Jai Ho! is a celebration of Indian music and dance like no other.
As a recipient of a City of Hillsboro Performance Series Grant, this performance directly supports Dance United, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting The Immigrant Story. Dance United is a nonprofit that believes music and dance can bridge societal divisions and keep its focus on creating experiences that bring together people of all ages and cultures. Dance United events gladly welcome refugees, immigrants, and BIPOC communities and highlight a variety of cultures, participants and artists.
Everyone is welcome.

Creating a safe and celebratory space is a priority at every event. Greet and treat everyone you meet as you would like to be treated, with equality, mutual respect, and a big smile. 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 and old) will make their way into the DJ’s playlist. Contribute positively, uplift those around you, tip your bartenders well, and enjoy the music being played.
