Over the years, Nachte Raho has been a thriving cultural program at the University of Iowa. As a Bollywood fusion dance competition, the University of Iowa hosts 7 dance teams from around the country to compete against each other for prize money. 2025 will be our 23rd year hosting this ever-growing and inspiring show, and it will be held on March 29th, 2025.

Visit our Facebook event page or contact the Nachte Raho director, Brinda Vital (brinda-vital@uiowa.edu) for more information!

Individuals with disabilities are encouraged to attend all University of Iowa-sponsored events. If you are a person with a disability who requires reasonable accommodation in order to participate in this program, please contact Puja Mekala at puja-mekala@uiowa.edu.
