The UH Bollywood dance team, Houston Jannat, has had a peculiar semester in regards to coronavirus changes to competitions.
Houston Jannat performs Bollywood dance within two national inter-collegiate circuits called Bollywood America and Legends. Every year the team comes up with a theme to center their performance around and builds out an intricate set with backdrops, props and costumes.
The competitions they normally would attend would ideally be accompanied by mixers and after parties, where members of Jannat could meet and mingle with other teams.
