Mumbai has launched Monsoon Shadow Dance, a program encouraging residents to interpret puddle reflections and rain patterns through dance. According to The Times of India, instructors provide choreography, props, and guidance to transform sidewalks into interactive art spaces.

Participants report amusement, creativity, and social engagement. Organizers provide safety measures, waterproof mats, and structured routines. Critics question feasibility in crowded areas, but supporters highlight urban cultural enrichment, stress relief, and performance art innovation. Future expansions include seasonal festivals, competitions, and virtual showcases.
