Folk Dance Remixed

We had a great time on Saturday 21st July working with Essex Cultural Diversity Project at the grand finale of their Festival of Thetford and Punjab.

We joined in the procession through King Street along to Butten Island and the statue of Maharajah Duleep Singh, and then along the Little Ouse river.

 

The event was an exciting multi-cultural programme in partnership with Thetford Town Council River Festival, featuring the UK’s leading tradtional Punjbi Dance Troupe Jugnu Bhangra Dancers, Folk Dance Remixed, Local Morris dance groups, King Gurcharan Mall Dhol Blasters, Rani Giddha Female Dancers, Ghatka Punjabi Sikh Martial Arts, as well as storytelling by Seema Anand, Indian food stall, henna hand painting.

 

Folk Dance Remixed survives through the fees from gigs and workshops, grants from funding bodies and donations from the public – people like you! We are striving to keep our multi talented, diverse, energetic, dedicated family on the road with our belief in the importance of creating spaces where people come together, share their traditions and
bring out the best in each other. Our work has social cohesion at the core – exploring how people from different starting points and with different cultural expressions can come together in joy, passion, excitement – and infect everyone with a bit of fun!

We really do need your help in keeping us on the road. Times are getting harder for arts organisations, dancers, musicians, tech crews and choreographers. Any support you can give us will be hugely appreciated, and ploughed back in the Folk Dance Remixed project.

We’ve launched a Folk Dance Remixed Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. So please take a couple of minutes to have a listen…. thank you.

Here’s a great chance to be part of the Folk Dance Remixed family!

Bring your friends, colleagues, neighbours, children, nieces, nephews along to Whitcliffe Mount School on Friday 6th June and join in with our funky fusion dance workshop  – and then strut your new found funky styles on Saturday as part of the Cleckheaton Folk Festival!
