Traditional Indian Classical & Bollywood Dance Workshop:

 

South Asian 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.

A typical South Asian 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 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.
