Indian dance, music and language classes
Dance, music, language and culture classes: Bharatanatyam, Kathak and Bollywood, Carnatic and Hindustani music and singing, Tamil, Hindi, Punjabi and other Indian languages, yoga and cooking, run by schools, temples and associations. Weekly classes rather than one-off events, so they live here rather than in the calendar; their recitals and shows appear under Events.
