Bhangra with a Bang

What a world encompassing evening of rhythm and dance. The Kineton Cluster of schools put on a Multicultural Arts Festival, a fabulous evening of entertainment, set on the fields at Kineton High School, and revelling in the sort of temperatures more accustomed to the countries the children were representing.

Each of the groups of children from the nine schools put on a different performance with music, storytelling or dance from around the world, celebrating the diversity of arts from indigenous cultures. African and Aboriginal rhythms and sounds were heard and then The Dassett children took the stage (well grass) and did a, truly amazing, Bhangra performance. A pulsating mix of Punjabi folk and Western pop, our children showed great style and timing in presenting this fast moving story telling dance.

It was a thoroughly enjoyable evening and our thanks go to Devinder and Liz from In2Cultures, all of the cluster schools, Kineton High for hosting the event and to all of the parents who attended, for making it feel such a party atmosphere. Most of all a big thank you and well done to all of the children for putting so much effort in and putting on such a professional and stylish show.
