Mumbai has launched Monsoon Shadow Dance, a program encouraging residents to express themselves by interpreting puddle reflections and rainy streets through dance. According to The Times of India, instructors provide guidance, choreography, and safety measures for participants.

Participants report amusement, creative engagement, and enhanced community interaction. Organizers provide waterproof mats, structured routines, and safety oversight. Critics question practicality in crowded streets, but supporters highlight urban performance innovation, stress relief, and cultural enrichment. Future plans include festivals, neighborhood competitions, and online showcases of performances.
