One Day is a forward-thinking creative education company, connecting children and learning with creativity and imagination. In this dance workshop, your pupils will learn about the Ramayana – an ancient Sanskrit saga with great influence on Hindu life. In fact, it’s so important that the epic tale has been transformed into a beautiful dance form! Join us and follow Prince Rama’s quest to rescue his beloved wife, Sita from the clutches of King Ravana – with the help of a monkey and bear army, of course!
