Diwali

Celebrate the Festival of Lights this November with these amazing family activities at Pitzhanger.

Diwali Rhythms

The session will focus on the tabla drum and introduce India’s classical system of counting beats. We will aim to create a unique beat with all the participants, and end with an open celebration, allowing participants to dance to the infectious sounds of the dhol drum.
