AN INDIAN dance workshop had Deptford schoolchildren mesmerised as they learnt about racial harmony.

The Kathakali group visited Hughesfield School for an afternoon, and showed off its skills before letting the children have a go too.

The traditional Hindu dancing and acting was performed by Kalamandalam Vijaykumar and his wife Kalamandalam Barbara Vijaykumar from Kerala, in south west India.
