Spotlight promotes thought provoking numbers that revolve around high energy and creativity.

For the first time ever, Varsha Naik joined our organization with Navrang Dance Academy. It was pure magic witnessing this Indian Group. They brought such a vibrant and colorful presence to our show. The stage was illuminated by their beautiful spirits, costumes and movement. The love of dance was quite visible and our audience of 800 spectators was left with memorable impressions of style and grace.



“It’s the dream for any dancer to perform on this prestigious stage and I find myself extremely lucky to have gotten the chance. I would like to thank Spotlight Production for organizing “Dancing in the Spotlight”. Every piece of dance was spectacular, colorful and fascinating on this stage.”says varsha



I must say the inspiration came from none other than the famous Bollywood choreographer Sandip Soparrkar. I’d like to express my gratitude to him for encouraging me and my team to cross our limits and do something extraordinary.

This was a huge opportunity for us to showcase one of the many Indian Dance forms and be a part of the bigger dance community,” varsha said .
