Dancers enjoy the 3rd annual Bollywood Extravaganza Oct. 15 at Brightview Senior Living.
Brightview Senior Living in Alexandria hosted its 3rd Annual Bollywood Extravaganza, a community cultural celebration in Northern Virginia.
Organized in collaboration with the Northern Virginia Senior Resource Network (NVSRN) and supported by numerous local partners, the gathering brought together residents, families, professionals, and community members for music, dance and networking among senior living professionals.
The event featured Bollywood performances, traditional music, and cuisine representative of India. Guests enjoyed henna art and a display of colorful attire that reflected the cultural heritage and history celebrated during the festivities.
The star of the show was the surprise appearance of Sarah, the first horse to attend an NVSRN event. Courtesy of Virk Equestrian Arts and Shadow Falls Equestrian, the unexpected guest was the center of attention and featured in many photo opportunities with attendees.
The event was coordinated by Faiqa Clark and the Brightview Senior Living team, along with contributions from partners such as Care With Love, NurseAmerica, Dream Vacations, VivaNova Real Estate, and Dulles Health & Rehab Center.
A crowd of more than 140 attended the Bollywood Extravaganza, which aims to underscore the importance of cultural diversity and social engagement in senior living communities.
