performance of 'Moving Earth' to mark

Earth' is a lively dance project, part
of the Cultural Olympiad inspired by
London 2012, representing an array of
styles including Bollywood, Bhangra,
Indian folk dance, hiphop and contemporary
African and UK dance. Under the direction
of Delhi-based choreographer and dancer
Santosh Kumar Nair, the groups have
developed new routines exploring 'Moving
Earth' central theme of ecology, taking
inspiration from the elements of Earth,
Air, Fire and Water and Space. Some
of the groups will add a unique twist
to their routine in the form of high-energy
moves taken from Indian martial-arts
based dance (similar to Brazilian capoeira).
