Dandiya Night 2025: Celebrating as One Big Family!

Where do I even start? This is definitely up there with one of the most memorable events! 

Let me catch you up with the hows, whys, and the whats! For the past 3 years, Dandiya Night has been an office tradition. Simple decorations, music and all of our workplace Fam. Last year, we felt it needed something more, almost as if something was missing - our extended family! Obviously, to take it up a notch, we called professional instructors and a DJ, bringing their expertise!

The day arrived and we were all dressed up, eager to see our fam’s reaction and boy, did it pay off! From their entry to the energy on the dance floor, it was a thing to witness. It started with a small group of people, to a huge group following the steps in a circle. More and more people kept coming, adding to the fun and excitement.

Initially, only a few people had arrived. They took their time exploring, clicking pictures and talking. A small circle was formed, and music started. Cut to half an hour later, the floor was full of people, swirling around the floor in sync, following Garba steps and as if this was all choreographed. The vibe, BEAUTIFUL!

There was a moment where no one knew who was who, and everyone was just dancing and

enjoying the moment. At one point, we thought things might slow down when OG Bollywood beats entered the scene, and everyone's inner dancer took over. The energy went through the roof, and it was just… indescribable. I think you had to be there to truly feel it.

Three things that I need to say to you, dear reader, after what we witnessed.

First of all, seeing you bring your families and friends made all of us happy and gave us endless smiles. Secondly, the way you just trusted us and expressed yourself on the dance floor made us want to do more in the future. Lastly, no one wanted to leave!! The final song was played at 9:00 PM. We were prepared for the goodbyes, and everyone just… stayed. Cozy conversations, photo sessions, more photo sessions and more photo sessions moved us, cementing our belief that yes, we have brought together a vibrant and lasting community.
