It’s a “graduation” event which is the culmination of many yrs (usually 5+ yrs) of indian dance training. The event itself will feature many performances followed by lunch/dinner. I went to one recently where the event occurred about a month or so after the dancer’s high school graduation, so it was pretty much treated like a graduation party for the purpose of gifts. I’d give the same type of gift that you’d give a high school grad or bar/bat mitzvah – cash gift or a keepsake of some type; it doesn’t need to be as costly as a wedding gift though.
