Mumbai: Abheena, founder and lead dancer of Dancing Queens, is yet to find a stage vast enough to sustain the remarkable enthusiasm displayed by her 14-member dance troupe, and Mumbai’s first queer drag performers.

The Dancing Queens were first noticed by Mumbai’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community last year, when they put up a show at a little rundown hall in Khar to raise funds for the Queer Azadi March. The overwhelming response convinced Abheena to take a brave step forward, and actively seek out bigger platforms and mainstream audiences for their shows.
