Spectacular.

After pushing through a zoom year, dancing long practice hours, becoming a family, freezing in the cold during the shooting but still loving it, we can’t bring ourselves to say much more than this eleven-letter word.

To our A12 Leadership (Muskaan, Shreyas, Shruthi, Shaily): We wanted to say a HUGE thank you for making this year truly memorable. You all have spent this year planning, coordinating, and making sure that every little detail of Azaad 12 was taken care of - seeing your work come to fruition has provided all of us a feeling of accomplishment and happiness beyond words. Thank you for also bringing the whole team together and giving us the chance to say that Azaad is the family we chose.

To the team: We appreciate the enthusiasm and dedication to learning, loving, and growing - we are confident that you all will shine in the years to come. We are so proud of our Azaad 2020 - 2021 team.

To the competition boards (Tamasha SD, Tu Bhi Nachle, Jhoomti Shaam, Tufaan): We wanted to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to perform our set, even during these unprecedented times. In addition, we appreciate the amount of hard work that was needed to transition the competitions from in-person to online.

Thank you, truly, to the collective efforts of our leadership, dancers, directors, and boards for making Azaad 12 as successful as it was. This post is dedicated to you 🙂

Although most of this year was online, we still had a wonderful time putting our all into the production. So, without further ado, UC Berkeley AZAAD presents: Monopoly!
