Commuters learn choreographed routines while holding umbrellas.

Mumbai has introduced Street Dance Umbrella Classes, turning rainy sidewalks into improvisational dance spaces. According to The Times of India, instructors teach routines synchronized to music, incorporating umbrellas as props for balance, style, and rhythm.

Participants report joy, stress relief, and social interaction. Organizers provide waterproof mats, protective gear, and audio equipment. Critics question feasibility during heavy rains, but advocates highlight urban amusement, cultural expression, and improved pedestrian morale. Future expansions include competitions, flash mobs, and thematic choreography for seasonal festivities.
