⭐ TRUST plays a pivotal role in bringing dreams to life, and nowhere is this more evident than in The Dancing Elephant, the enchanting children’s theatre production by Ri Ri’s Dance Academy. As the concept creator, co-writer, and director, I, Ria Meera Munshi, place trust at the core of every step of the process—from representing authentic Indian culture and heritage 🪷🇮🇳 to collaborating with a team of brilliant strangers who share the creative vision. 🌈✨

Bringing this production to life is a journey filled with vulnerability and uncertainty—an essential part of trusting others to translate the vision from concept to page, to stage, and ultimately on tour. But with a team that is professional, open-minded, kind-hearted 💕, and creative, the process transforms into something truly magical! 🌟🪄

🌜🐘 About The Dancing Elephant 🐘🌜

The Dancing Elephant is a delightful children’s production that combines storytelling 🎭, Indian traditions 🪷, and innovative stagecraft. It follows Mahi, a young girl who is whisked away by the mystical Moon, Chand, into a magical video game world 🌙🎮. Guided by the Dancing Elephant 🐘✨, Mahi must navigate through three levels of the game to find her way home.

The production features breathtaking sand art animation 🌊, vibrant backdrops showcasing the Elephant Festival of Jaipur 🎉, and the joyous celebration of Holi 🌈, making it an experience of culture and creativity for children aged 6-13 and their families. 🪐💫
