The Penn State Berks International Klub will host its first-ever Garba Night from 6 to 10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 27, in the Perkins Student Center Multipurpose Room. The event is free and open to Penn State Berks faculty, staff, and students. Tickets are also available for non-Penn State students for $5 and adults for $8. All proceeds will go to Berks Benefitting THON student organization that raises funds for pediatric cancer and research.

Garba is a type of Indian dance mainly performed at festivals and other special occasions in Gujarat state, India. This style of dance is based on a circular pattern and is characterized by a sweeping action performed side to side. Garba performances also include singing and musical accompaniment traditionally provided by dhol and dholak drums, hand-clapping, and assorted metallic idiophones, like cymbals, celebrating the festival of Navaratri.

For more information, contact Selvi Jagadesan, assistant teaching professor of mathematics and International Klub co-adviser, at [email protected] or 610-396-6382.

I wanted to thank you again for the opportunity you have created for our kids.  This experience is more than the TV show.  Eight students who probably never would have talked to each other were excited to execute a plan. Know that you make a difference.
