Early in 2018, BSNL was fortunate to receive a grant of £5,000 from Tesco Bags to promote a healthy environment. Our project, Be Healthy via Music, Dance and Yoga, commenced in the summer of 2019 with the aim of improving the wellbeing of all local community elders over the age of 60. The essence of these activities was outdoors.
A four week ‘Bollywood’ dance course, taught by Kuntal Dance Academy was organised in June 2019. Attendees were taught routines for popular ‘Bollywood’ songs such as Dil Dhadkai, Siti Bajai Ladki, Ankh Mare and Nagada Sang Dhol, to name a few. A further five week course of Garba/Salsa dance classes taught by Binal Trivedi followed. The participants learnt a beautiful famous garbo, Hey Chogada Tara Rangila Tara Rangberu Juve Tari Vaat Re, and some salsa moves for the song señorita.
In 2020, BSNL have been conducting ‘virtual’ dance classes on BSNL ‘Zoom’ platform on Saturdays run by Binal Dance Academy , participants learning to perform the famous ‘Hellaro’ song and Garba steps. Additionally, on Sundays, Nina’s dance school choreography taught a song from a Bollywood movie ‘Jodha Akbar’ and a medley.
