In recognition of our ongoing partnership and support, the India Society of Worcester (ISW) was honored with an invitation to the Boston Celtics' annual Group Leader Appreciation event on August 17, 2024. Held at the exclusive Auerbach Center, the Celtics' practice facility, the event provided a unique opportunity to tour the state-of-the-art facility. Ekta described the experience as invigorating, noting, “Touring the facility where world basketball champions practice was incredible." 

Earlier this year, on March 18, 2024, Ekta Dance Academy, in collaboration with ISW, performed during the Celtics-Detroit game at TD Garden. The performance, featuring her  45 students  captivated an audience of over 19,000 with their enchanting Indian and Bollywood dance routines.
