A dash of India

Students were treated to some traditional Indian dance today. It is much like ballet with specific stances and positions. We learned that the hand gestures in the dance are a way of communicating a message, much like sign language.

We were also given some information about the origin of Diwali and how it is celebrated. The Diwali Festival of Lights will be held at the TSB Bank Arena on Sunday 19 October from 1pm.

Thank you to the Asia Awareness Foundation for organising these dancers to come in. We really enjoyed both their performance and their teaching.
