School Visits
- Primary

Each session is 50 minutes duration.
Sessions begin with a short 5-10 minute performance to set the scene for the students.
Shamita can then follow that with either:
– a single-routine workshop, teaching students a Bollywood dance and including an educational component about Bollywood, the dancing styles and cultural history; or
– keep it focused on students dancing the whole time, learning two short and simple contrasting routines, around 20 minutes each.
All sessions end with a 5-minute Q&A session.
