What does the recognition at the Entertainers Connect A-list mean to you personally and professionally?
My name is Raahil Ansari, and I'm the founder of Raahil Dance Team. I've been involved in the wedding industry for 14 years, choreographing numerous weddings and corporate shows. Recently, I've had the opportunity to collaborate with EVENTFAQS Media launching an events magazine. I see this Entertainers Connect A-list as a valuable platform that will connect various vendors and entertainers within the wedding industry globally. It's a consolidated resource where people from different parts of the world can discover entertainers, artists, and vendors, facilitating new connections and collaborations. Personally, I believe this platform will greatly benefit professionals like us, helping us achieve our goals of securing more shows and expanding our presence in the industry. This initiative could also enhance opportunities for international partnerships, benefiting both the Indian and global market. Overall, I see it as a promising platform for growth and networking.
How do you think it will impact your career moving forward?
This opportunity will definitely help advance our careers. As I mentioned, I've been in this industry for a long time, and I've observed how it used to rely heavily on word-of-mouth and referrals based on our past work. We used to receive calls and work primarily through our established network of event companies who knew us. However, with this A-list, there's a significant shift. It will enable new event companies worldwide to discover and connect with us. The magazine will feature thoroughly vetted talents, ensuring a high standard across the board. It's a platform dedicated to professionals who have proven their expertise and excellence in the event industry. This setup will undoubtedly support us in achieving more goals, securing more shows, and delivering impactful entertainment on a global scale.
Are there any new areas you are looking to explore or any particular project you hope to work on in the coming days or months?
I think the best opportunity to work and explore something new is coming up: the WOW Awards. I would like to become the choreographer for it and deliver some great entertainment on stage in front of a large audience. With attendees from the industry and around the world, I aim to showcase the talents within myself and my company, delivering our best performances to the audience. We aim to enhance their experience and make it a memorable and joyful event. That's what I'm looking forward to.
