The motion

That the Parliament congratulates Tarang Dance Academy, which specialises in the classical Indian dance, Kathak, on being one of eight recipients to benefit from a £50,000 funding pot made available by the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Fund; understands that funding was opened to groups led by minority ethnic communities, musicians and singers to stage exciting and diverse concerts, celebrations and performance opportunities for people in their local area; notes that the Glasgow-based dance academy, which, it understands, seeks to overcome cultural, language, mental and physical barriers, will be hosting events in the community to mark the 75th anniversary of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and notes that Tarang Dance Academy showcase will take place in Maryhill’s Community Central Hall on 24 September 2022, bringing together Highland dancers with the music of Bollywood.
