A Profile of The Contemporary Indian Dance Company

Thaal is a fast growing Contemporary Indian Dance Company. We love to dance and we love to share dance. We like to create. Our inspiration comes from the real world that we live in: the culture, the society and the people. Our choreography is our own creation and not a copy moves seen in films and on TV. We teach the most popular dance styles: Bollywood, Classic Bollywood, Bhangra and a new styles created by Thaal: Bhangra-Fusion. The classic dance styles such as - Kathak is also taught by Thaal.

Our motto is: Have Fun, Learn to Dance and Keep Fit.

Thaal is a professional Dance Company. Our work and experiences focus on community classes, workshops ( in general but particularly in schools ) and the company troupes. Our focus does not end with dance; we actively present our students and dancers on the world stage – to broaden their horizons and experiences.

The Company Troupe has danced at the Chiswick House Festival, The Bloomsbury Theatre, Winchester May Festival, Hammersmith Palais, BBC’s Big Dance, The T5 Charity Ball…..

Our students, from our community classes in Southall, Ealing, Slough and Hounslow have performed at, for example, The Slough Children’s Fund event, BBC’s Big Dance, Dance Around The World Festival and at the company’s Tasters / Term Launch events.

There are further events in 2007/8. In March our students performed at Sadler’s Wells Theatre as part of the Connect Festivals Youth Dance project: Roar! Students from the Heathland High School, Hounslow and The Green School, Isleworth, showcased a number of routines. This was following an eight - week in Indian Dance at their school. They performed alongside other youth dance groups from differing styles.

Dancing is great for both body and mind. It is a good way of releasing tension and keeping active in our busy modern lives. We encourage everyone, from all communities to dance. The atmosphere is friendly with professional instruction. This is the case with our regular community classes, as well as with our corporate workshops. Our inclusive approach means that we have a fun and interactive experience for all our students.

Thaal is always about being refreshing and new. We do not move in isolation. We respect our history, heritage and culture. But we never forget where we are, what we are and where we are going.

Our team is inspired by progress, having an open mind and heart and evolving as people in the UK. We work in partnerships, with our dancers, clients and associates.
