Rain dance parties prove hot favourites

Though the capital is facing heat wave and the wrath of sun god, this is also the season to beat the heat with funky rain dance parties. Whether you choose an amusement park or simply fix some sprinklers in your garden, youngsters in the capital have found interesting ways to enjoy a fun-filled day and keep cool.
A lot of youngsters feel rain dance parties are catching up because that’s the best way to spend hot afternoons. Anant Sharma, a 16-year-old school student says, “It’s vacation time and nobody likes to spend all day sitting inside the room in front of the computer. Since it is too hot outside, one can’t even go in for outdoor games, so rain dance parties are getting popular.”
Rajat Kurkreja, a student at IP University informs, “There were a few rain parties that already happened this year at the Trivoli Gardens and Silver Oak garden, and they got a good response from youngsters. In the coming days, there will be more such parties where DJs play commercial music and youngsters groove to it.”
Mostly these parties are organised in farmhouses or open clubs, where event organisers charge around Rs1,500 to Rs 2,000 for couple entry. However, people who cannot afford to shell out so much have the option of organsising it at home, in the garden, using sprinklers.
Kanika Singh, a Class 11 student says, “My parents don’t let me go out for rain dance parties at farmhouses, so I put sprinklers in my garden and invite friends over. We have a more homely version of a rain dance party at my place and we all dance and have a blast.”
For many college goers rain dance facilities in amusement parks are also a good option to pass time. Sneha Yadav, a DU student who stays in a hostel with her friends says, “I went to a really cool amusement park recently with my friends and we had a great time in the rain dance pool. The music was totally filmi and we kept dancing all through the day. The slides and swings next to the pool added to the fun quotient.”
