Dhak & dhunuchi workshops — Workshops at BSPP BirminghamWorkshops

Learn the rhythm that opens the puja. Our fortnightly workshops teach the basic strokes of the dhak and the footwork of the dhunuchi dance, in the same order the pandal rehearsals follow each season.

Instruments and incense pots are provided, and no experience is necessary — the circle always includes complete beginners. Sessions build up to a joint performance during the puja season.
