SHILLONG: The Garo dance of Meghalaya and Cheraw dance of Mizoram made their debut on British soil by enthralling the diverse audience representing a variety of community organisations.
The spellbinding dances provided a taste of grandeur during the ‘Dance and Development’ event which marked International Dance Day in London.
The North East dances were presented by Piyali Basu, Lumbini Bafna, Juhi Dhanasekharan, Prasanthi Aripirala and Priyadarshini Niranjan.
Speaking on the occasion, Mayura Patel of the Dynamic Women’s Foundation, emphasised on the importance of promoting tribal art in the UK and lauded the efforts of organiser Sanskruti Centre for Cultural Excellence and Ragasudha Vinjamuri in researching and bringing lesser known dances to the UK.
“Authentic music and original tribal outfits have been procured with the help of local community from North East, providing the true taste of this lesser explored area in Britain,” said Ragasudha Vinjamuri.
“We intend to do more research and present few more tribal dances in course of time. There is a sense of gratification when we spread awareness about lesser known cultural aspects, especially in this part of the world,” he added.
