Recently returned from India, Parvyn Singh and Josh Bennett have toured nationally for many years with their show BluGuru, which incorporates their vast interest in music and dance from around the world. Together they present a multicultural world class show that has something for everyone including Indian Bollywood dancing, Brazilian jazz, blues, country and folk.

Parvyn sings and dances accompanied by live music provided by Josh on Sitar, Tabla, DilRuba (Indian violin). They presents a colourful blend of music and dance incorporating styles from around the world while focusing on the culture, music and dance of India.

Parvyn also uses popular Bollywood music to show the modern culture and style of India encouraging audiences to actively participate, teaching them simple dance movements and sounds.

Parvyn’s whole family is involved in dance and music – her sister Jamel performs in BluGuru when Parvyn is not available, and third sister Harsel performs with Jamel and sometimes Parvyn as part of the Singh Sisters!

Students loved it and wanted more! Boys were engaged and planning to do more at sport time! A culturally important and relevant show.”
