Brisbane, August 18 (Australia India News Newsdesk)

The Consulate General of India in Brisbane hosted a vibrant dance workshop featuring the visiting Rajasthani Folk Dance Group from the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), New Delhi.

The interactive session drew around 20–25 participants,

including children, who enthusiastically joined in learning traditional folk dance steps and balancing acts taught by the seasoned performers from Rajasthan. The atmosphere was filled with rhythm and colour as the artists shared their skills, offering participants not only a lesson in movement but also a window into India’s rich cultural heritage.

More than just a dance session, the workshop served as a bridge between communities, celebrating the depth and diversity of India’s folk traditions. It gave participants an opportunity to immerse themselves in authentic cultural practices while strengthening cultural exchange and appreciation within Brisbane’s multicultural society.

The Consulate’s initiative was widely appreciated for creating such an engaging platform, where art and tradition brought people together in a spirit of joy and learning. The event once again underlined the role of cultural diplomacy in nurturing connections between India and Australia.
