Dance Workshops
We offer Bollywood dance and bhangra workshops for nurseries, primary and secondary schools, colleges and universities. Our workshops are fun and educational and provide an insight to Bollywood and Indian culture. All of our workshops are Early Years Foundation and curriculum friendly and we cover all the Key Stages.
Structure
- Background to Bollywood Cinema
- Introduction to Bollywood and bhangra dance moves
- Emphasis on the importance of dance and exercise
- Creativity session to encourage teamwork
- Performance by students at the end of the workshop
- Warm up and stretch down
We tailor the structure to meet the requirements of the event, year group and the current topics being covered as part of the curriculum.
Assemblies
We offer assemblies, where children learn about the background of Bollywood dancing, before trying some dance moves.
Assemblies can also be an introduction to a day of workshops or can be held at the end of the day to showcase routines.

Diwali Workshops
Diwali is the festival of lights and our Diwali workshops are the perfect way to celebrate and learn about the Hindu festival. We host our popular workshops across nurseries, schools and universities across the UK.
Our Diwali workshops for schools include the following:
- Story-telling about Rama and Sita and why Diwali is celebrated. We can add some drama into this which involves student participation.
- Bollywood Dancing
We are taking bookings for the next Diwali celebration, 24 October 2022.
Holi Workshops
Holi is the Hindu festival of colours and the festival of love remembering Lord Krishna. We offer workshops that explain the background to the festival with some bollywood dancing, making use of colourful props. We are taking bookings for the next Holi celebration, 8 March 2023.
Henna Tattoo & Design Workshops
Our henna workshops work well for cultural or festival days, art festivals and learning about Asian or African culture. Children get the opportunity to hear about how henna is made and when it is used before learning some henna techniques as a group. They can then work on their own designs before trying some henna on paper or on their hands.
All of our henna artists are fully trained, DBS qualified and use natural, organic henna.
Breakfast clubs, Lunch clubs & After school clubs
We offer term time weekly classes during school hours and after school clubs.
Our classes are fun and full of energy, aimed at children of all abilities, boys and girls. If there is a particular festival that falls during the period of the club, we also cover this during our lessons. We are currently running a number of ongoing after school clubs.
Bollywood dancing creates an excellent learning environment and it's benefits include:
- Learning something new about a different culture
- Having to concentrate, focus and and memorise dance routines
- Promoting creativity
- Boosting confidence
- Great fitness activity
We have extensive in school experience with full insurance and are DBS checked.

"I just wanted to say, on behalf of everyone at the school, thank you so much for such an amazing experience this week. Our children had so much fun (and so did the teachers). All of the feedback I received was very positive indeed and I saw first hand how much the children got out of the sessions and how happy they were. The teacher was extremely professional and my headteacher commented on how brilliant she was with the children."
