Though his NGO "Dance for a Cause" Sandip has been helping many people and raising funds for various other charities. At the award show held at Siri fort Sandip said, "I dedicate this award to my parents Rani and Ajay Soparkar for always teaching my brother Sanjay and me to follow our talent not just as a passion but a way to spread awareness and bring the change in the society and this award is also for all my students who believed in my vision of Dance for a Cause and have always encouraged my art."

Completing the hat trick of awards was the "Global Face of Dance Award" which was presented to the dynamic dancer by Hollywood Actress Dominique Swain and festival director Mr. Sandeep Marwah at the 9th Global Film Festival held in the capital.
