The Showcase Stage is all about showing off the astounding wealth of local & regional Asian artistic talent. A wonderful mix of Bhangra, Bollywood, modern and traditional music and dance - non-professional maybe, but amateur it certainly isn't!
It presents a wealth of talent from the Swindon and regional Asian Communities. Drawn from diverse backgrounds, the performances present dynamic choreography, numerous costume changes, and pulsating music and dance, ranging from contemporary Bollywood to traditional Asian dances that are true to their roots.
Come and join us on stage to take part in our most popular Bollywood dance workshop for old and young.
