Controversial ‘Towel Dance’ From Bengal School Cultural Event Sparks Online Outrage

A video reportedly recorded during a cultural programme at a school in Kolkata has gone viral on social media, triggering widespread discussion online. The clip allegedly shows a group of girls performing a dance on stage with towels wrapped around them during an event said to have taken place at Jeeban Jyoti Model School.

In the video, the students can be seen dancing on stage while music plays in the background. A banner displayed behind the stage appears to show the name of the school, and several children are visible in the audience watching the performance.

The short clip quickly spread across various social media platforms, prompting strong reactions from users. Many viewers described the performance as resembling a “towel dance,” a term that has been widely circulated alongside the video online.

Some users expressed surprise that such a performance allegedly took place during a school cultural programme attended by students. Others questioned how the act was included in an event organised in a school setting.

So far, there has been no official response from Jeeban Jyoti Model School regarding the viral clip. It is also unclear when the programme was held.

Authorities have not confirmed whether any inquiry has been launched. As the video continues to circulate on social media, many people are awaiting clarification or a statement from the school administration or local education authorities.
