UT Jazba

We hope everyone is having an enjoyable summer! Without further ado, here is our long awaited, long overdue goodbye post for the year!! *drumroll*

First, we would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to everyone who has supported us during our 2016-2017 season! Our team would be nowhere without the dear friends, family, fans, liaisons, and exec boards who have taken care of us over this past year.

We are THRILLED to finally present our Bollywood-fusion, gender-swapped take on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice: the tale of Akash and Zara.

It truly has been a year full of surprises and unforgettable experiences. From North Carolina to California to several shows here in Austin, we’ve been honored to tell our story alongside so many other talented groups and acts. So much can happen in a year. We’ve had such a blast.

Looking to the future.. with many of our team members graduating and having to leave the team for various reasons, Jazba will be taking a break indefinitely, starting this Fall. We may come back to the stage, when the time is right, someday. But one thing we do know for sure: wherever our dancers’ paths may lead, we will remain a family and we will never lose that passion that brought us together.

Huge shoutout to UT Indian Students Association for putting on such a L I T showcase at last weekend! Every year, we are so impressed by the caliber of South Asian talent that UT has to offer.
