Midwest Masala at Xavier University brings together several universities from across the Midwest to participate in a competition. Teams of approximately 8-20 students fuse elements of East Indian and western culture into 6 minute dance performances. Xavier’s South Asian Society promotes Indian culture throughout Cincinnati and wants to show through dance, how elements of our American culture can become integrated and unified with that of other cultures in our world today. Midwest Masala is not exclusive to people of South Asian descent only; we aim to incorporate people of all walks of life while promoting unity amongst our Xavier and Cincinnati community.
