Bollywood to Bradford

Culture

Bollywood to Bradford got people on their feet and moving to the beat of Bollywood at this year’s Bradford Mela.  Taking place on the 12th and 13th of June, this exciting event saw a flashmob-style performance of a specially commissioned dance piece led by Zoobin Surty, an acclaimed Mumbai choreographer.  The dance was taught to members of the public at Dance for Life classes, in schools and through the Bradford Dance Network and was then performed in a seemingly spontaneous explosion of colour and movement. The project brought together members of different communities in a fun and inspiring event that encouraged its participants to be more active and to enjoy their moving bodies.
