Bolly Shake invites you to dive into the vibrant world of Indian traditional and Bollywood dance! 

Join us for this free session which is perfect for beginners who want to get moving and learn some new dance moves to celebrate the Diwali festive season.

With years of experience teaching in schools and private settings, and performing at major events like the Colchester Carnival, the AR Rahman Tribute, and World Dance Day, BollyShake Time is excited to bring this energy to dancers of all levels.

Whether you’re a beginner or more advanced, this class is all about having fun, learning new moves, and experiencing the joy of Bollywood dance. 

Bolly Shake is suitable for the whole family including children from 4+. Tickets must be purchased in advance for children to participate.

Parents are also welcome to join in the fun on the day if there is space to join the dancing. 

Our Holiday Fun activities are for families facing economic challenges or who require additional support during the school holidays, including those that qualify for benefits-based free school meals.

Holiday Fun is designed in partnership with African Families in the UK, Bangladeshi Women’s Association Essex and Level Best Enterprises.

This project has been funded by the North East Essex Health and Wellbeing Alliance and Wellbeing Alliance and the Neighbourhood programme and Essex Community Foundation.  Funding is administered through One Colchester.
