Desi tadka at Trump’s show

A troupe of 30 Indian performers, mostly from Bollywood, who are being trained by Suresh Mukund, a young choreographer from Nalasopara, Mumbai, would be performing at the inaugural ceremony before US President-elect Donald Trump is sworn into office on January 20.

The 29-year-old choreographer, who is camping in Washington for the past few days preparing for the performance, is super excited to have grabbed this once in a lifetime chance.

“This is nothing like a dream come true for me.

It’s a lifetime chance. I, along with my assistant Karthik Priyadarshan are working hard to train Indian performers, to match their steps with American performers since a few days,” he said.

Mukund has conceptualised a seven-minute medley of Indian classical and Bollywood dance that is scheduled to be played during the swearing-in extravaganza.

Former Miss India Manasvi Mamgai will lead the dance troupe at the function that will be held at West Lawn of the US Capitol, he said adding Manasvi played a crucial role to grab this chance to me.

Mukund belongs to a dance group titled Kings United India which won a world championship held overseas in 2015. —PTI
