Celebrate Diwali, the Festival of Lights, with an interactive family dance workshop at Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery. Led by internationally renowned Kathak and Odissi artist Priya Pawar, this special event invites participants of all ages to experience the joy of movement through Indian classical and contemporary dance.
Part of our October Half-term activities for families, the workshop offers a chance to discover the rhythms and gestures of South Asian dance traditions while celebrating the spirit of Diwali — a festival symbolising light, joy and togetherness. No prior dance experience is required, just enthusiasm and curiosity.
