The Consulate General of India, Brisbane, in association with the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR), organised a Rajasthani Folk Dance Workshop on 18 August 2025 from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM at the Consulate office in Milton.
The workshop featured the traditional Kalbelia and Sapera dance forms, brought to life by a talented group of visiting dancers from Rajasthan. Around 20–25 participants, including children and adults, enthusiastically joined the session, learning the intricate steps, rhythms, and balancing acts that make Rajasthani folk dance so captivating.
Participants praised the workshop for its interactive and fun approach, with many expressing how much they enjoyed learning the unique moves and connecting with Indian cultural heritage. One attendee shared, “It was an amazing experience! The dancers were so talented, and I never imagined I could learn these moves in just a couple of hours.”
This vibrant event provided the local Indian community in Brisbane an opportunity to experience Rajasthan’s rich cultural heritage firsthand, thanks to the collaborative efforts of the Consulate General of India, Brisbane and ICCR.

Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
