Out on the concrete by the Kennedy MS gym, under the shade of dusty trees, an excitable group of girls talk and wait in anticipation for the workshop. One officer announces the start of the workshop, and together, they step into the scorching sun and trade their bags for a pair of Dandia sticks. The officer team leads off, their six Dandia sticks shining bright above the grey cement. Soon, the rest of the girls join in, lighting up the blacktop in a sea of twirling Dandias. Even as they stop for a quick water break, the girls still keep their Dandia sticks in hands, individually practicing the toughest parts of the routine.
