Bhangra beats for Elm Bank care home residents as they celebrate Culture and Diversity Day

Residents and staff at Elm Bank care home in Kettering enjoyed an afternoon of vibrant colours, radiant smiles and bhangra beats from Aman Singh from 'Leicester Bhangra Classes. Everyone came together to celebrate Culture and Diversity Day, with food and music.

The afternoon was very joyful and energetic as residents and staff engaged in the bhangra dancing, clapping hands, tapping feet and learning many new dance moves. Aman really created a very fun filled afternoon, as well as the dancing he also shared the history of Bhangra with everyone, making the afternoon truly inclusive for all.

Activities Co-ordinator Tina said: “It was an amazing afternoon; everyone was able to participate no matter their ability. Aman adapted his dancing for all, he also shared the history behind the dancing and with all the instruments he had with him the residents were able to really have a full hands-on experience.”

General Manager Larisa Bledea said: “We cannot thank Aman enough for making the afternoon an all-inclusive experience. Culture and Diversity within the home is a vital part of our life enrichment program, residents and staff truly enjoyed this experience in a fun way and it left everyone smiling and appreciating different cultures and traditions.”
