Yesterday, a 4-pair contingent from Lajkonik took part in an integrated dance programme called “Western Sydney Story” presented in the finale of the major Indian Festival called “Parramasala”, in Prince Alfred Park, Parramatta.    This 3-day festival was supported by Parramatta City Council and is one of the biggest annual Festivals in Sydney.

Lajkonik danced alongside various Ensembles from India, Thailand, Mexico and others as part of a special programme put together by Artistic Director Ruchi Sanghi from the Indian Community. Each group danced into each other’s programme, and at the end there was a joint finale of all performers.  It was very dynamic, colourful and inspiring!  Next year this concept of integration and collaboration through dance is to be further extended and developed.
