 Indian Classical or Bollywood Dance Workshop

 

Indian Dance Workshops are an exciting alternative to the standard PE lesson; consisting of plenty of exercise and physical activity, but adding dance elements of rhythm, co-ordination, musicality and performance, as well as learning about another culture. Participants will be introduced to basic principals of Indian dance, including hand gestures, moves for the head, neck and eyes, and Indian foot rhythms.

Bollywood Dance Workshop @ Uxbridge College

Traditional classical Indian dance workshops, this would include flexed feet, gestures for the hands and fingers, and movements for the head, eyes, and neck, accompanied by traditional Indian music.

For Bollywood dance workshops, this would include fast and funky moves for the hips and shoulders, combined with some cheesy humour and Indian–style moves for the fingers, all accompanied by catchy Bollywood music.

A typical South Asian Indian Dance Workshop consists of; The workshop starts with an energetic and fun warm up based on aerobic exercises, isolations, stretching and balances, designed to stretch participants and develop their co-ordination.

This is followed by an introduction to the basic movement vocabulary of Indian dance focusing on the specific variances and characteristics of traditional classical Indian dance or the high energy spectacular of Bollywood!

Participants then build the movements they have learnt into a choreographed routine working on their own or in small groups.

The workshop ends with a high energy live dance performance by participants to put into practice the techniques they have learned during the workshops. The group being split into two so each group can give a mini – performance, while the other acts as the audience. We find that many individuals gain a sense of great satisfaction and achievement from this performance.

Indian Dhol & Tabla (Indian Hand-Drums) Music Workshops

When it comes to percussion in the world of Indian music, the Indian tabla drums are the most popular. Their distinctive sound has made them a favoured addition to nearly every kind of music in the world today. Tabla drums feature prominently in Bollywood soundtracks and asian movies.


Indian Tabla Workshop @ Northfleet Girls School

During a indian Tabla workshop participants will discover how many different sounds can be created from the tabla using combinations of the various finger and hand techniques. Then have a go for themselves..

The dhol is a two-sided drum often used as an accompaniment for Punjabi folk music. It has its roots in the province of Punjab and dhol players are often sought for occasions of celebration, such as weddings.

The Dhol drum became fundamental to Bhangra music and in the early 60's people would bring their instruments with them from India to the UK. Now the Dhol is a must at all Asian celebrations, whatever the occasion. As with all instruments, the Dhol can be played in a range of styles, but the most common is traditional Bhangra.

Indian Storytelling Workshops

Experience the rich history and myths of the South Asian continent with our interactive Indian Storytelling Workshops.
There may be no fires to sit around in our urban settings, but story telling lives on! Stories were told to make children aware of the world and to encourage good values in their lives.

Our Indian Storytelling workshop is an age old tradition, and serves as oral vehicle for imparting values and cultural ethics to the younger generation while providing entertainment and recreation. Historically, Indian Storytelling was essentially a communal participatory experience and therefore ideally for school environments.  Stories are told by our authentic South Asian storytellers with the emphasis on full interaction through song, music, or dance.
