Bollywood Dance Birthday Party For Girls

Bollywood Dance Birthday Party for my girls was fun to organize in Mumbai, India where we currently call home. As an expat, it is always hard to plan a party in a city where one is new and doesn’t know how to navigate the city. I learned as I planned and asked around for information. I hope this post can be useful for some parents who wish to have the same type of party.

Since I still don’t have a car, I managed to get around and go shopping by rickshaw. I think it helped a lot to make it possible for me to have this party thanks to free delivery service help I got in India. It was not easy nevertheless, but I am glad I did it. It was worthwhile. Nothing is more rewarding than seeing my daughters’ happy smiles on their faces.

There are many things to take into consideration when you plan a party. I am lucky as I have two girls whose birthdays are close and they let me combine their birthday celebrations. One regret I had was that I did not spend more time to check the guest lists my daughters made. It is good to let them be responsible for that, but I realized that they are still kids and of course they forget to include some kids in their classes. I am afraid that we might have made some of their friends’ feelings hurt. At the same time, realistically speaking, I could not invite everyone because the party had two age groups. I wish I could invite more people.

I feel that planning for my kids’ birthday parties make me age faster.

I can feel gray hair growing on the back of my head.

I, however, did enjoy planning for the party for my girls despite the stress.

After all I would have not traded this experience for anything else.

I researched around a bit and Karuna, an instructor with fast forward dance academy, gave me the best fee among others. She is a very sweet person and she and her colleagues came and totally rocked the class. The kids had a blast! Thank you, Karuna!!

mehndi ☆ henna tattoo

I wanted to let the kids get mehndi/henna tattoo done on their hands to go with a Bollywood dance theme. I learned later that this party ended up being similar to a Sangeet in India.

*Wedding Sangeet is a ceremony conducted a few days before the wedding in the Indian culture. It is exclusively for women and is all about dancing and music. via ask.com
