Let’s dance and celebrate what makes us unique
Bollywood, Bhangra or Fusion dance workshops and performance programmes for schools, colleges and community groups.
There’s something joyful about a whole school hall moving to the same beat and everyone bringing a little of themselves to it. Through Bollywood, Bhangra, Indian classical and semi-classical dance and music, pupils get to explore South Asian cultures and discover how dance brings people together. From a one-off workshop to a routine they can perform together, there’s room for everyone to join in at their own pace. We work with schools, colleges and community groups across Wales.
School Workshops
Give pupils a chance to try something new, learn a Bollywood, Bhangra or Fusion routine and discover how music and movement are used to celebrate in South Asian cultures. We adapt each workshop to your pupils’ age and experience and can build it around a PE lesson, an enrichment day or a topic your classes are exploring.
- One-off workshops, half days and full days
- Typically 25 to 30 pupils per session, depending on the space available
- Larger groups can take part across multiple sessions
- Planning, music and equipment included
School Performance Programme
Pupils learn a routine over several sessions, building from the first steps to a performance they can share with their school community. Rehearsals give them time to practise, work together and grow in confidence. We plan the programme with you around your timetable and the occasion, whether that’s an assembly or a school celebration.
Put on a show
Staff Workshops
A practical dance session for INSET days, staff wellbeing or team building. Staff learn a short Bollywood, Bhangra or Fusion routine together, with the steps broken down so everyone can take part, including those who are new to dance.
Treat your staff
Colleges
Bollywood, Bhangra or Fusion dance workshops and live performances for culture days and enrichment programmes. In a workshop, students can try a new style, explore how movement responds to music and work together to learn a routine. We adapt the session to the group and what you’d like students to get out of it.
Bring the energy
Community Groups
Dance sessions for libraries, youth groups and community organisations. Participants can try Bollywood, Bhangra or classical dance, discover music and movement from South Asian cultures and learn a routine together. We adapt the pace and steps to the ages, abilities and experience of your group.
Bring everyone togetherSafe, Professional & Supportive
Our instructors are DBS checked and experienced in delivering dance in schools. Before the session, we’ll talk through your timetable, the space available and any access or support needs so we can plan for your group.
We work with schools and groups in Cardiff, Barry, Newport, Swansea and across South Wales, including Bridgend, the Vale of Glamorgan, Rhondda Cynon Taf, Caerphilly and Monmouthshire.
