Indradhanush Kids brought together children of Indian origin from across the globe on to a common platform and celebrated India’s Independence Day.
Indradhanush Kids is a UK based school of performing arts. The school specialises in teaching Kathak, Bharatnatyam, Hindustani Vocals, and Bollywood Music and Dance to all age groups, both online and physically face-to-face. But as the name suggests, the school is more popular with parents with young or teenage children.
The show started with traditional flag hoisting by 5 years old Anshika Mazumdar and Jana Gana Mana singing by 4 years’ old Arjun Dubey in his military costume. This was then followed by a beautiful Bollywood style dancing by 11 years old Lakshita Singhania from North Harrow. Next, the 10 years old Ishan Jakkulwar on tabla. We were then joined by 11 years old
Ditipriya Banerjee, all the way from Kolkata, India with her patriotic Nazrul geeti. Isha Amar Yadav, the 8-year-old wonder performed a beautiful Kathak fusion on ‘Bharat Humko Jaan se Pyarahain’. Then from Edinburgh Vania Jain, a 10 years old budding poet, recited her self-composed poetry on India. It was the turn for Indradhanuk Kids next. They performed dance on a medley of patriotic songs with 14 years old Rishika Mazumdar, Shreya Paul, Sneha Paul and 5 years old Anshikas Mazumdar. There were many other kids who performed from USA and India besides the UK.
Certificates were issued to all performers. Both presentations ended with a vote of thanks to all performers, their parents, teachers Abrita Chatterjee and trainee teacher Rishika Mazumdar
