- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 15 May, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sun, 17 May, 2026 at 07:00 pm (+01:00)
- **Event Description**: Nachle Raqs is an international dance festival dedicated to celebrating the beauty, depth and diversity of Bollywood dance and Oriental (bellydance).

The name Nachle Raqs brings two worlds together:
“Nachle” (Hindi – “to dance”) and “Raqs” (Arabic – “dance”), symbolising a meeting point between cultures, rhythms and artistic traditions.

Nachle Raqs is not about rushing through workshops or collecting famous names.
It is a carefully curated festival focused on quality teaching, meaningful stage experiences, live music, and real artistic exchange.
