Disco Dandiya

🪔 Disco Dandiya: Diwali Social 🪔

Sticks up, Melbourne! This Diwali, Garba Haus is turning the studio into a glow-stick dandiya party, and you’re invited.

This isn’t just a class. It’s 2 hours of dancing, chai, games and pure festive energy, where strangers become dance partners and everyone leaves smiling (and a little sweaty).

✨ What’s in store

Learn the 10-step: we’ll teach you the classic dandiya step from scratch. You’ll practise in pairs and rotate partners, so you’ll meet everyone in the room.

Dandiya choreo: a short, fun routine you’ll want to film for the ‘gram.

Chai and Garba games: take a break with a cup of chai, then get competitive with some Garba games.

🪩 DISCO DANDIYA: the lights go down and the music doesn’t stop. Non-stop dandiya mixes, and everyone dances together.

The grand finale: Sanedo, Macarena and Ranjhanyu. Need we say more?

🛍 Also on the night

• Our own stall with goodies straight from India

• A bindi station to get you Diwali-ready

💛 Why Garba Haus?
We started Garba Haus to build community through dance and to show that Garba and dandiya are for everyone, not just Gujaratis. Whether you’ve danced dandiya your whole life or never held a stick, you’ll fit right in.
