Children performing Indian dancing - Hampshire school

Friday, February 18th, 2011

I recently photographed the children performing for Kala The Arts at Fort Hill School Winklebury, Basingstoke, Hampshire. They had 1 day to learn the Indian dance moves and put them together into a dance routine. Then in the evening they all performed for their friends, family and parents in the school hall. They were very good considering they are not used to seeing this kind of dancing. Below are a coupld of photographs I took of the older children performing:

This week I have had the pleasure of photographing Indian dancers at a local school in Burghclere, Berkshire. The dancers have spent the day teaching different classes from sseveral schools of varied ages to dance in the style of Indian traditional dance, which they then performed on stage infront of parents and fellow pupils. Inbetween the schools dancing were displays of what can be achieved with much hard work and dedication by some exceptionally beautiful and brilliant dancers. Some very special guest dancers were brought over from India toteach and dance in public, below are a couple of photographs of them.
