Fantastic Acts for Culture Mash-Up

Shanti-International-Charity — Tue, 17 May 2011 11:16:43 +0000

We have confirmed lots of exciting acts for Culture Mash-up on the 22^nd of June that involve pop & R’n'B artists, Street, Salsa & Bollywood Dancers!

Upcoming Artists
Shanti is really excited to feature Nalika Nevaeh, who is a London based singer, songwriter, dancer and choreographer. She started singing and putting her own routines together at a very early age and this will take her from singing in her bedroom to performing at events and talent shows.Nalika grew up in a musical home as her father was part of a reggae band. He encouraged and helped her fine tune her craft. This has turned her into the dynamic artist we see today – set to take the industry by storm. She is currently on a UK tour promoting her newly completed 12 track debut album due to be released later this year.

Salsa Dancers
We have both solo and group salsa performances as we have 5 couples performing from ‘Laith Sami’s Performance group’ and we will also feature again the very passionate and talented Zaneta Carna!

Zaneta

We will also have body poping street dance duo ‘a:m’ doing another hot performance for Shanti between designers.

a:m Street Dancers

Bollywood & Bhangra
Representing some Eastern flavour we have 2 fantastic solo Bhangra & Bollywood dancers Simiran & Priya. Simiran has always been involved in dancing, especially Bollywood and Bhangra, however her style evolved when she received a scholarship to Stradford School of Performing Arts. During her time there she was taught different forms of dancing that range from Ballet to Street!

Priya

Priya has performed on many occasions from various events and fashion shows. She specialised in classical Indian dancing, but also performs within a variety of genres such as Bollywood, Bhangra & Street.

There will be more information on acts soon and we can’t wait to see all the live entertainment between the catwalk!

Shanti Stroll Fun

Shanti-International-Charity — Mon, 16 May 2011 11:41:23 +0000

On Sunday the 15^thof May we had our first ever sponsored walk, which proved to be a great little fundraiser and social gathering. We had 13 walkers in total that strolled along the river Thames from Island Gardens to Blackfriars. We walked around 7 miles, played a quiz and ended at the Anchor to enjoy a well deserved lunch!

Space Art Centre

A special mention goes to Alice who raised nearly £300 sponsorship for the walk. We are really impressed with her fundraising efforts and she was great company along the stroll so we hope to see her at our next events in the summer.

Alice

The walk has raised £400 for our charity projects and we are due to receive more sponsorship money this week, which we are really pleased and grateful for. We enjoyed lots of sightseeing of the docklands and famous landmarks like Tower Bridge and London’s oldest Riverside Inn.

Tower Bridge

The next strolls will be on the 12^th of June, which will start at the London Eye and will travel south past Battersea Power Station and end in Putney. If you like the idea of learning about Jack the Ripper and Victorian Slum life then the ‘Ripper Ramble’ on the 26^thof June will definitely appeal to you!

Walkers can raise money before the event or make a donation on the day for our charity. Please email Lynda@shanti.org.uk to book your place. 02078221869.
