The welcome · Where bhangra comes from
The welcome
We arrive early, set up the music and space, and open with a few minutes on where bhangra comes from.
Bhangra dance workshops
Not a show to watch. A dance everyone learns.
Interactive bhangra dance workshops from Jodi Dancers for schools, SEND settings, workplaces and community groups. Culture, movement and a group performance in one session.
Bhangra began as a harvest celebration where everyone danced, not just the best dancers. Our workshops keep it that way, so nobody is left on the side.
