Pragnya is an initiative by Media Mahima that provides academic and social immersion to kids on the autism spectrum in the hopes of working towards a world that is more accepting towards and more educated about kids and adults on the spectrum. To raise funds to expand this program, and simultaneously create a forum for kids around the bay area to express and/or discover their love of the incredible art form that is dance, we created this event!
