Step into the world of Disco Rani: The Mujra Party! This month, we’re diving deep into the enchanting art of Mujra, an expressive dance language rooted in South Asian heritage. From the courtesans of the Mughal era, who performed Mujras for the elite, to Bollywood’s iconic item numbers celebrated by queens and courtesans, Mujra has captivated audiences and held a powerful place in queer South Asian culture from the 1950s to today.
Join us as we celebrate Mujra in all its forms—whether Punjabi, Urdu, Hindi, or Bengali. This night is an homage to the intricate hand gestures, alluring movements, and rich traditions that have become symbols of self-expression within the South Asian trans and drag communities. Asifa Lahore will be spinning all night, delivering the best of Bollywood beats, bhangra, and global sounds to keep you on the dance floor.
Come dressed in your finest, channeling the grace of Mughal nobility or Bollywood glamour, and dance among those who share your passion for this art form. Last month, tickets sold out quickly with lines around the block, so secure your spot by buying online tickets in advance. Don’t miss your chance to experience The Mujra Party at Disco Rani!
