Children from Fortune Park Early Years Centre in Islington, London, enjoyed Indian dancing when they took part in Dance Your Way Around the World. The end-of-term celebration featured Kathak, a classical dance from north India; Bahratnatyan, a classical dance from south India; Capoeira, a Brazilian martial arts dance; Japanese folk dancing; and aboriginal tribal dancing from New Zealand. Manuela Benini, movement play leader for Sure Start Islington, said, 'Watching people perform traditional dance from around the world gave children first-hand experience of different cultures in London.'
