Stafford dancers stun crowd at historic "Howdy Modi" event at NRG
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- When you're performing in front of 50,000 people, a worldwide audience and it is all part of a historic meeting between President Donald Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, you better bring it.
"Everyone was super sleep deprived and hungry and tired," expressed Tina Bose, co-founder of Infused Performing Arts dance studio. "But you know, our main goal was that we have to do this and we have to make it amazing and memorable."
"Because it's live, it needs to look almost perfect. You know, multi-cameras, and there are so many news channels that are live and everything."
After getting married nine years ago, Bose and her husband Kiron Kumar opened Infused Performing Arts in Stafford.
