Corporate, community and private events​

We have performed everywhere – From prestigious venues like Buckingham Palace and the V&A Museum to vibrant community street festivals and intimate weddings. Experience the magic of South Asian dance at your next event.

Akademi have nearly 45 years experience in crafting and delivering world-class unforgettable performances at events. We collaborate with a wide range of companies, community groups, local councils, individual clients and event management firms.

We offer a broad range of different South Asian dance styles (from classical styles such as Bharatanatyam to more contemporary forms like Bollywood), and can also provide music and other complementary entertainment. We work with professional artists with extensive experience of performing at high profile events.

Some of our past clients include The Royal Household (Buckingham Palace), Camden Council, Hermes, Barclays Wealth, India Tourism Board, Dialled In Festival, Foreign and Commonwealth Office, Pratham, V&A Museum, BBC and more.

Income from private events is reinvested in our charitable programmes with older adults and young people. By choosing Akademi as your events partner, you are supporting us to enhance people’s lives, physical and mental well-being with South Asian dance.

“It was amazing to have such talented dancers here as part of the V&A Friday Lates event.”

Jennifer Zielinska, V&A Museum
