Tribute to MJ with Melvin Louis
Melvin Louis had folks pouring down at Mumbai’s St. Andrews Auditorium recently to show support for the annual Pulse Studio Show. Sheetal Menon, Shweta Vijay, Vipasha Agrawal, Rajiv Ravi and Rohit Verma were present. Melvin organised the show this year for a noble cause, by associating Dance Inc. with the SPJ Sadhana School for special children. A variety of dance styles were showcased by 10 choreographers and 150 performers. But the show-stopper was the tribute to the late Michael Jackson. There were also exceptional performances by the special children and choreographers.
