The Dance True Initiative is back! A small bunch of us gathered at St. Jude India at Parel to teach the amazing kids some simple dance moves. These kids might be battling cancer, but are full of life & laughter, matched our every move!

Initially, these kids were shy but as the music pumped so did the kids! We plan to make to make this a bi-weekly affair - post here if you would like to join us! We plan to do this alternate Sundays for 1 hr at their Parel center.

Thank you Bhavesh Panchal Sheetal Panchal for making this happen. Hugs to the St Jude's team for giving us a chance & ofcourse the kids & the parents.

While we adults destroy the world without a care, the children are more cognizant of the damage we are doing...

The crowd at Carter Road watched in astonishment as the children from the communities working at the Mankhurd dumpyard gave a strong message of Recycle - Reduce - Reuse through their heart warming dance!

Thanks to all our partners & sponsors for making this happen! We love you!

We, Indians are at the forefront of the race to destroy earth's natural resources.

Can you image India 20 years down the line if we don't take action right away? Will we have anything left?

An eye opening article in HT today points out to some shocking and hard facts.

Of the world’s top 20 polluted cities, 13 are in India compared to just three in China bringing the life expectancy rate to 3.2 years for the millions of Indians who live in cities.

How crazy are these kids!? PS: They have no dance training what so ever!

These wonderful kids come from very humble socio economic background, and work as rag pickers in the Mankhurd Dumpyard during day time.

On 7th June 2015, these kids are going to be putting up a street show along with the DTI team to propagate Recycle - Reuse-Reduce.

Who better to tell us the consequences of over using the earth's resources than the kids directly affected by it?

Come cheer these kids as they take center stage at the Amphitheatre, Carter Road, Bandra on 7th June (Sunday) at 5 pm.
