This organization is doing fantastic things for the community in ways no other is doing!!!! Hats off the an incredible Phagwah celebration!! All other Holi or phagwah are watered down, degrading, always have a fight or police attending or have nothing to do with the true meaning of holi or our culture. The ancestor program wow didnt know we were freed from Indentureship 100 years ago this was interesting and educational to know. The dances are top class and represent each country top of the line!!!! No one else or organization doing these kind of thing or this level of work!!! The Director Denise B is blessed!!!! Her concepts and ideas and unreal and marvelous .... Cant wait for anything they do .... All millionaires, state, county, donors, professionals, and philanthropist need to donate and give more to this organization!!!!!

It was a great event that served the purpose of educating the community on "What is Holi?", as well as bringing different community members (broward, palm beach, etc) to showcase their talent and celebrate the festival of colors while still preserving the culture. Overall, the event was very successful and full of entertainment.

Had the great opportunity to perform for their Holi show in Lauderhill. The event stayed true to the real meaning of this religious holiday and I would definitely go again and would encourage others to come along as well. They also hired a group all the way from Suriname and they were phenomenal. Everything was well organized and I couldn't have asked for a better outcome.

Great Holi event. family oriented and focused on the true essence of the celebration

It was a great event I experienced in Florida with Jayadevi Arts on March 18. The only organization receiving sponsorship from Florida State and County in the Indo-Caribbean community. It was a pleasure for me to participate. The Hamare Purvaj was a great experience. I had to call the elders in my family to get an ancestors song and came up with "Batohiya". A song our ancestors used to sing while planting rice and sugar cane reminiscing about their homeland. The Phagwah section it was amazing to see the American born youths so involved. Jayadevi gives them a platform to express and showcase their talent. Hats off to Jayadevi for having a clean no alcohol Pandit approved Holi/Phagwah. The Best Holi festival in the traditional way. Great to be apart of this event and this organization. Thank you for representing my country Suriname my country's music Baithak Gana and dance Londa Ki nach. Nice to see all the Youth in Florida doing Suriname music!!!! i feel blessed!

Wow I attended a great event March 18 3 segments in 1 day 1 event!!!! Totally enjoyed the ancestors the music reminded me of my grand mother and great grand mother. This segment had me emotional and took me back to great memories of my ancestors. The holi segment was clean family oriented and truly appreciated. Jayadevi Arts U are doing great things for our community keep it up....

I attended Jayadevi Arts Inc 5th United Phagwah/Holi Celebration on March 18, 2017 at the Central Broward Regional Park and was not prepared for what I saw. It was trilogy; you got a little history, demonstrations, the cultural and the artistic sides. Definitely the best to date!
I liked the trilogy concept. Showcasing our ancestry while simultaneously keeping it relevant by reaching out to the millennials & younger with the social media celebrities was ingenious.

"Ganges meets the Nile"...a true cultural presentation. Great all around performances from various youth group who entertained us for 3 solid hours. This presentation was very well executed and I can't wait to attend your next show.

Recently, I attended "Ganges meets the Nile" produced by Jayadevi Arts and it was very entertaining. It showcased Indo and Afro Caribbean cultures under one banner. I was excited to see so many youths of different cultural background participated and choreographed so skillfully. Great entertainment; I can't wait to see the next production.

It was a wonderful show. I had an amazing time and as a dancer I felt very loved by all the audience. It was a great experience to see the different cultures come together and put on a great and interesting show. The food was great, the show itself was beautiful and very memorable, and a great group of audience.

I joined Jayadevi Arts about a year ago and has continued my participation since this is the only place that works together with the public to bring together different cultures. In our recent show we had the African Americans and the Indo Caribbean were portrayed in the smashing hit "Ganges meet the Nile." A few salsa steps were also incorporated in one of the dance. As times goes on I am sure our choreographer Ms. Denyse Babolal will bring in more of the different cultures that make up our great nation, "The United States of America."

I have attended several shows hosted by Jayadevi, leaving NYC just to reminisce about he good old days. That's what Jaya devi does. The organization bring back the good old days, the old times. Makes you remember how it was so that we can take our children back to where it all started. Some of the things we had forgotten even. But that's what Jaya devi does. Does not let you forget what our ancestors brought to the Caribbean, for us, for our identity.

Jayadevi Arts Inc dance groups is phenomenal. .... preserving bhakti devotional dances, folk dances, classical dances in kathak barathanatyam, or a fusion of the two styles, chutney, soca chutney n soca. I feel very proud this organization tell the world who are indo Caribbean arts and culture..... keep up the good work jayadevi dancers and we, the community, are proud u really going international and higher!!!!!!

Jayadevi has become an outstanding organization in Florida. They need more support from the community, foundations, corporate and government. They are doing amazing things that should be appreciated and recognized more.
