Children and teenagers dance on a concrete floor inside a hall with white metal truss framing and plastic chairs along the back. A teenage girl in a striped lavender button-up shirt and jeans, smiling, reaches out with her arm extended. Nearby boys in white, a blue-and-white checked shirt and grey clothes move with her, and a girl in a white cap with an orange brim and a yellow flower garland stands at right. Two large framed portraits on the wall show a smiling figure with long dark hair and a red tilak playing a guitar, and another figure in a red shawl playing a keyboard. A blue sign reads children under 12 years not allowed, video-audio and photography prohibited.
