Westlake Girls Bollywood Troupe earned an impressive 2nd place and won Best Costume and Design at Bollywood Showdown, New Zealand’s largest Indian high school dance competition featuring 24 schools. In only their second year and as the sole North Shore team, the troupe led by Year 13s Kavya Parikh and Vaishnavi Kamath stood out with a unique “Alice in Wonderland” performance, complete with handmade props, creative choreography, and strong teamwork from members in Years 9 to 13.
Their dedication brought high praise and a standing ovation from judges and the audience alike. The team’s remarkable achievements highlight the opportunities for cultural expression at Westlake Girls, and we look forward to seeing what the troupe accomplishes in future competitions.
