Educational Workshops
Dance Sansaar has worked alongside many Local Education Authorities including Birmingham, Sandwell and Norfolk to name but a few. We work with children across all 'Key Stages' including post 16.



The workshops are interactive and cover all aspects of Bhangra Dance including demonstrations of the costumes, instruments and props. Both pupils and staff are actively encouraged to participate during the workshop sessions.

Through these workshops we have discovered that it helps participants improve general health & fitness and alert coordination. The workshops are also designed to give the children an opportunity to learn and share in other cultures and traditions. Working in a group environment has a posotive result, which helps boost self-esteem and confidence.

Please view more information below on our workshops and requirements. I there are any questions you may have,
please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do our very best to cater for your individual needs.
