Saturday Sessions with Bollyqueer
Boogie on down to join us for a family dance workshop and playful social session with Bollyqueer, where you can learn new moves and have fun with friends.
Our Saturday Sessions are a perfect place to start the weekend, with different performances and creative activities for children and their adults each week – all for free. Watch a new performance, make something with artists and come together to create and play with other little performers, makers and creators.
September’s Saturday Session is led by Bollyqueer, a Bollywood dance space that encourages joy through the magic of Bollywood, and reminds us what dance is really about – self-expression! It was founded to empower and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community.
The session starts with a warm-up from our friendly host, followed by a short performance and an hour of participatory workshop, and then a chance to let loose and dance with a Ballroom boogie for all the family.
Every month, we bring together brilliant artists and London’s children to experience top quality work in a playful setting. Saturday Sessions welcomes everyone into the Southbank Centre to make, do and create. Come on down and discover the inner artist in us all.
