Brainchild of 22-year-old Aastik Tewatia, this fest, The Delhi Funk Circle, saw a humble start in 2013 with just 25 participants. However, it has grown to become an event that now has a following of thousands. “Being a hip hop artist myself, I felt hip hop was neglected by many due to Bollywood. That is when I came up with the concept of a non-profitable community event that could act as a stage for dancers across the city to express themselves and become a part of a larger community,” says Tewatia. “The event focuses not only on the dance form, but also features B-boying and Popping Battles, rap performances, jam sessions, live graffiti, workshops and a lot more.”
