Ankita Patel 27 of Maplewood is originally from Kenya which has a large Indian population. She’s gone to these dances since they began and has met other Indians from Kenya there — something she didn’t think she’d do in Minnesota. “I think I made most of my friends from going to these parties” said Patel who works as a clinical research associate at a medical firm.
