Following in quick succession were Drexel Dandiya, En Vogue and Masti, the Temple all-male dance team. Each one of them gave the audience a glimpse into a different region of the country. The performance by Drexel Dandiya was definitely an audience favorite.
Drexel Jhalak had a basic dance that was intended to teach the audience a couple of moves, but even the most basic moves were too complicated for most.
When Jhalak finally took to the stage, the excitement was palpable, and the girls did not disappoint. Telling the story of an Egyptian princess that is bitten by a snake, the dance not only conveyed the message but did so with elegance with grace. It also helped that the girls had lavish costumes and a scary snake.
It was then the time for Drexel's very own all-male dance team to take the stage. During their routine, a couple of audience members were heard remarking just how well they were dancing.
The men of Iota Nu Delta performed next ending their part of the show by making a human bicycle.
Closing the show, the freshmen danced to a medley of songs, but not before the VOICE board and organizing committee were congratulated for hosting the event. The outgoing President Bhavesh Joshi thanked the audience for their support as well as the organizing committee for putting on an amazing show.
This is one show that I would definitely recommend going to see next year as it gives you easy bite-size pieces of Indian culture while still being thoroughly entertaining.
