Indian Dance Classes

Bharatiya Ashram is dedicated to promoting Indian culture through dance, music, and the arts. We offer welcoming classes for children, young people, and adults, celebrating both traditional and contemporary Indian dance styles.

Kathak and Bollywood Dance

Our regular dance classes are led by Shweta Jariwala, a graduate of Swaraswati School and an accomplished Kathak dancer. Kathak is one of India's eight classical dance forms, originating in North India and traditionally used for storytelling. Known for its expressive movements, rhythm, and grace, Kathak remains one of India's most popular classical arts.

Alongside Kathak, Shweta teaches vibrant Bollywood dance choreographies. Our Bollywood dance group performs regularly at festivals and community events across Scotland and has become well known for its energetic and colourful performances.

Classes take place on Thursdays and Sundays.

Performance Opportunities

Our dancers, aged from 4 to over 50, perform throughout the year at festivals, cultural celebrations, community events, and theatres across Scotland.

Past Performance include:

  • Community performance at Dudhope Multicultural Centre

  • Edinburgh performance (Ediburgh Diwali, Dussehra Festival, Edinburgh Parade)

  • Dundee performance (Dundee Hooley, V&A opening, Dundee Together)

Our mission is to celebrate Indian culture, develop young talent, encourage cultural understanding, and build confidence through performance and participation.

We would be delighted to establish additional classes at Dudhope Multicultural Centre if there is sufficient interest. If you represent a community group or organisation that would benefit from this activity, please get in touch.

Join us and experience the joy of Indian dance, culture, friendship, and creativity.
