TESTIMONIALS

"When the Stockholm City Hall in 2010 was filled by World’s Children’s Prize (WCP) Child Rights Heroes and children from many countries, Shobhna Jha made a stunning Kathak dance to celebrate the WCP Decade Child Rights Heroes Nelson Mandela and Graça Machel, voted to their honor by millions of children and honored on stage by H.R.M Queen Silvia of Sweden, who also enjoyed Shobhna’s dance. Shobhna was a key performer during the 10th WCP Ceremony, contributing to the celebration of the WCP Program, today having educated and empowered 47 million children as changemakers standing up for the rights of the child, not the least girls’ equal rights."

A highly talented and hardworking dancer, she performed in more than hundreds of shows of my dance productions around the world, including Sweden, Germany, Canada, Turkey, Poland, and Bangladesh, as well as at renowned international and national cultural festivals like the Khajuraho and Kala Ghoda Festival.
