Bhangra Flow/The Spirit of Bhangra
In this workshop, you will learn some of the fundamental rhythms of this traditional folk dance that originated with farming communities in the Panjab.
Join multidisciplinary Bhangra artist Hardeep Singh Sahota and founder of ‘Bhangra Lexicon’, a comprehensive visual dictionary of over 300 Bhangra movements, in an exciting Bhangra dance workshop that will leave you feeling energised for the rest of your day.
"Bhangra is celebrated across continents by different practitioners. Its evolution is like a vast pipal-tree, flourishing and spreading its branches. However, as our ancestors taught us, a tree stands strong not by its fruits or branches, but by the depth of its roots.”
- Hardeep Singh Sahota, Bhangra: Mystics, Music & Migration (2014)
Free, for families with children aged 7+, with accompanying parents/carers
