About The Pject
Welcome to our Chai Tea & Dance Project, a unique initiative brought to you by ABA Leeds and Balbir Singh Dance Company. The Chai Project is our way of celebrating the jubilee by embracing the power of tea (or chai) to bring people together, foster strength and resilience, and build bridges between diverse communities.
The Chai Project offers a unique experience for individuals seeking connection and community. Through a series of workshops and face-to-face sessions, we invite participants to embark on a journey filled with the flavors of tea and the richness of cultural exchange. Led by experienced facilitators, these engaging sessions delve into various tea recipes, brewing techniques, and personal storytelling.
