Dhadkan's Goal
Dhadkan, the Hindi word for ‘heartbeat,’ is an organization created as a front for South Asian collaboration, bringing people of various backgrounds together to accomplish projects relating to social change and entertainment. Through the avenue of creativity, the Dhadkan Executive Board strives to create a competition experience that is unparalleled. A location only a few blocks away from the beach, in one of the world’s prime vacation spots, Nachle Deewane is a one-of-a-kind show. With the potential to reach out to an anticipated audience of nearly 1,500 people, ranging from students and faculty to community members, our vision is to strive for a greater appreciation of South Asian culture while becoming an instrument of social change.
