Arts In The Parks Event

Sundown Stories: Dance in the Park

Join us this summer for Sundown Stories: Dance in the Park, a vibrant celebration of Indian dance in Parkway Forest Park, presented by Rashmi Mishra and Rashmi Academy of Performing Arts. This free, family-friendly series invites audiences of all ages and backgrounds to experience the energy, rhythm, and storytelling of Indian dance through live performances, interactive workshops, and artist talks.

This second session features Punjabi dance including Bhangra, led by Jannat Ali. Rooted in the cultural traditions of Punjab, this high-energy dance style is known for its powerful movements, rhythmic beats, and joyful expression, often performed during celebrations and community gatherings.

The evening begins with a lively performance, offering a glimpse into the vibrancy and spirit of the form. This is followed by an interactive workshop where audiences can learn basic steps and movements in a fun and engaging way. No prior experience is required, and the session is designed to be inclusive and welcoming to all.

This will be a relaxed, accessible outdoor experience. Some seating will be available, and audience members are welcome to bring their own chairs or mats to enjoy the event comfortably in the park setting.
