At the end of every showcase, our blog typically details our show line up- the stellar routines, gorgeous costumes and heaps of praise that we all shower on our dancers. This year, let’s shake things up. While our performers are the stars, we think it’s of utmost importance to highlight what goes on behind the scenes to pull off a showcase of this magnitude.

This time around, SDA Utsav would like to celebrate the people and processes behind the scenes. This sneak peak is an ode to each and every one at Team SDA, that brings this amazing vision to fulfillment. We hope you enjoy this visual treat of how our fantastic team, amazing partners and loyal sponsors who work in unison to create a monumental masterpiece that aims to engage, entertain and enthrall you on show day!
