Dr. O P Dewal, Presiident JAAI welcomed the JAAI members, their families and the Japanese guests. He also gave a brief introduction about the states the dances were from and about the performing artists to the audience.

The programme content was selected keeping in mind the interest of adults as well as kids. The event was marked with a bunch of colourful performance of folk dances by folk artists from Mange Lal Jiti & Party. They presented important and popular folk dance forms and folk songs from various states of India namely Rajasthan, Gujarat and Haryana.They presented following dances:

Cheri, Ghoomer, Dandiya, Bhawai, Fire Dance, Haryanavi and Children Dances.

In between the folk dance items which left the audience spell-bound, was some magical performance to relax their minds. This was by none other than the famous Magician, Shri Jamil, who took the challenge on the stage. He has been regularly performing for the last many years and has thousands of shows to his credit both nationally and internationally. The Magic Show kept everyone’s eyes glued to the stage throughout the session. Some of his performances were stunning and elicited cries of disbelief from the audience.

More than 175 persons including JAAI members along with their families and Japanese guests attended the programme. Children as well as adults enjoyed the show equally. The programme was followed by a tasteful dinner. The event marked yet another well-appreciated effort by JAAI.
