What do we offer?

We offer regular weekly Kathak and Bharatanatyam dance classes, along with Indian Classical music jam sessions once every two weeks. Our members perform at prestigious University of Bristol events as well as external cultural programs. Since October 2025, we’ve already delivered nine performances and hosted a successful Indian Classical Music concert – Raaga.

We also organize plenty of socials for those who simply enjoy being part of the audience — from trips and laser tag to movie screenings and games days. There’s truly a place for everyone in our society — whether you love to play an instrument, sing, dance, make friends, or simply appreciate Indian classical dance and music.

We are a community of individuals proud of our traditional and cultural heritage, yet we embrace a balanced approach that harmonizes the classical and the contemporary.
So get involved in our activities and make some new friends!
