SAA-uk COMMUNITY CLASSES RESUME
Hi all!
Just a quick message to let you know that SAA-uk’s classes are about to start for another term.
We have a wide range of classes on offer, taking in traditional South Asian instruments such as Sitar, Tabla and Santoor. We also run classes in Bharatnatyam Dance (for both experienced dancers and young beginners) as well as new class ‘Music & Dance of Punjab’, which includes Giddha Bolliyan, Bhangra and Dholaki. 
Whether you are a beginner or expert, fancy getting fit or meeting new people, we will hopefully be able to find the right class for you and your family.
See the Education Section for full details or you can e-mail me at education@saa-uk.org.uk with any questions.
