One of the organizers is Secaucus resident Archana Athalye (she owns Kulture Kool in Rutherford), and she said the dance show really is very prominent. She said dancers and artists from all over the world and United States are coming to dance in Secaucus.

This event is possible because of the generous support of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.

Say organizers: "Don’t miss this spectacular evening of global dance and cultural unity!"
