The Dinagyang Dance Tribe from West Yorkshire graced the Ryde Illumination Carnival 2023 on the Isle of Wight in a spectacular display of cultural diversity. Through the generosity of Ms Aireen Gauntlet, we were invited by Equal IW, a charity organisation dedicated to equality and diversity, their performance wowed both judges and spectators alike.

We joined Green Time and Asian Global UK for an enchanting midnight adventure on the picturesque Isle of Wight. With 40 friends from all over the UK, this event promised to be a fusion of artistry and nature.
