On Friday 3rd October we were honoured to be part of SustainConnect’s Green Impact Awards in Storey’s Fields Centre, Cambridge.

The evening included an array of inspirational speakers and some deserving award winners from our Cambridge community. Thank you to Dulce Lewcock and SustainConnect for choosing to award Sanskruti Dance too.

We were delighted to be asked to perform again, four years after first being invited to perform by Dulce for Women’s Voices for Africa. Drawing inspiration from the evening’s celebration of culture and the idea of culture being passed from mother to daughter, we performed as three mothers and daughters. We were grateful to be a small part of a special evening.

We are glad to share with you that Arts Council England is supporting our new tour of Tree of Life.

Our third production is a tale that brings together our passion for dance and nature through science and spirituality.

We would like thanks Arts Council England and DanceEast for supporting this work, along with our partners Cambridge Junction, Cambridge University Hospital Arts, Akademi, Cambridge Curiosity and Imagination, Mercury Theatre and Hertfordshire Libraries.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at Cambridge Dance Festival on Sunday!

There are so many people to thank, including…

• Our artists Infusion Physical Theatre, Jaymini and Aradhana Arts, and Team Anubhava for some wonderfully creative and original performances. And our Sanskruti Dance students who stepped and created their own work specially for the festival.
• Our dance workshop teachers Bethan from Elementz, Lynne from DSM Dance with Lynne, and Achila and the team from Activ-Chil-Art for delivering some wonderfully fun workshops on a very hot day!
• Tomorr Kokona for delivering two valuable workshops for artists, and Tonka Uzu for delivering a little piece of peace and creativity with her arts and crafts workshop.
• Our sponsors Namaste Cambridge and Altone Print Ltd for their support, and Cambridge Junction for helping us to put on this event.

And finally, a big thank you to our festival goers, friends, family and team who joined us and supported us on the day.

Our Cambridge Dance Festival on Sunday 29th June will offer a vibrant mix of fresh, innovative performances that spotlight local dance talent, and family-friendly dance workshops across a mix of dance styles. We want to celebrate the best of dance in Cambridgeshire, get people moving and stage an event where there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

👉 Dance Artists:
We are looking for dance artists or groups to perform a 20-minute piece at the festival. We are particularly interested:
new work;
from local artists;
that is family-friendly;
low-tech set ups suitable for a festival setting.

We’re open to a range of dance styles. What we’re hoping for are pieces that can be enjoyed by multiple generations and that might encourage and inspire new people to enjoy and take part in dance.

👉 Dance Workshop Facilitators/Teachers
We are also on the lookout for two to three workshop facilitators or teachers to lead one-hour dance workshops during the festival. We’re particularly interested in the following styles:
– Street dance, hip-hop, or commercial
– Ceilidh
– Salsa or Latin American

But we’re open to suggestion! We are also keen to have workshops that work equally well for children and adults, so that families can take part together if they wish.

This is a fantastic opportunity to share your passion for dance, connect with the local community, and be part of an event that celebrates creativity and movement. Performers and workshop leaders will be compensated above ITC rates.

We can’t wait to see what you’ll bring to the stage!

If you are a dance artist or dance group and would like to show some new work, please fill in this form by Tuesday, 22nd April.
