Our story
Over the past four years, Mandala has offered free senior programs at social service centers that provide services seniors in South Asian communities, specifically in Chicago’s “Little India.” Our senior participants at the Indo-American Center on Devon Avenue have become family through Bollywood dance and music.
During the pandemic, our happy community became disconnected. As a response, Mandala began offering dance virtually to reconnect with our participants and the public. We found out that seniors and older adults from around the country were in need of melody, movement and uplifting! With the public health crisis still looming, the senior population will continue to face the brunt of disruptions. Mandala provides arts and culture outlets to seniors everywhere.
