The children at St. Stephens have been fortunate to have taken part in an amazing Indian dance workshop with the wonderful, self-proclaimed 'Mr. Bollywood', Kalpesh. KS1 thoroughly enjoyed learning and participating in the dancing. They loved the music, Kalpesh's enthusiasm, his fantastic costume and beautiful Rangoli umbrellas. We all learned lots of brilliant dance moves, and were able to learn about his culture, traditions and some of the festivals through a question and answer session. To finish off the day, the whole school was able to perform their dances to the parents at the end of the day - and even get the grown ups to join in too!

Children, families and staff from Ellington Infant School in Ramsgate took part in a colour-filled celebration in honour of the Hindu festival Holi yesterday (March 24).The school invited in Kalpesh Zalavadiya, a classically trained Indian dance teacher, to work with all of the children in a Bollywood-inspired day of music and dance. Kalpesh put children and staff through their paces in workshops which taught a number of dance routines, which would be put together for a whole school performance in the afternoon.

Today we welcomed Kalpesh Zalavadiya, from K’z Dance Entertainment Limited to school. Throughout the day, all the children inClasses 5 – 11 took part in Diwali Dance Workshops. What a brilliantday!

Buckingham Park Primary School welcomed Kalpesh Zalavadiya, the artistic director of K’z Dance Entertainment on November 12, to teach the year three classes some Bollywood dancing to celebrate Diwali.

During the last week before half-term we welcomed KZ Dance Company to our school, so that children could experience a Bollywood style dance workshop. The weather was very kind as we socially distanced in the playground and it was an absolute delight to see the excited faces and awe and wonder return as children experienced something new.
