Nobel peace prize concert in Oslo

I was fortunate enough to be asked to perform at the Nobel peace prize concert in Oslo Norway, as part of the Bollywood dance group Bollyflex.

I was so grateful for the opportunity as we would be sharing the stage with some music legends and also supporting an amazing cause.

We had a couple of rehearsals in London and then we boarded a plane to Oslo. The taxi was coming to collect me at 3:30am so I did not sleep much at all.

I was expecting the weather to be freezing so wore many layers, but infact it was the same temperature as the UK so ended up taking loads off.

Once we arrived we had a couple of hours to nap and grab a bite to eat before a tech run. The tech run was quite hard work to be honest as had little sleep and travelling just took all my energy out of me. But we made it through and then went out for dinner.

The next day we had some free time and I decided to explore Oslo and went for a little walk.
There was not much to see around the hotel but just felt nice to explore a little.

We then had another tech run to make sure everything would be perfect for the evening as it was going to be filmed.

I have included some photos below of the tech run and my walk around Oslo:

 The show itself was amazing. We were lucky enough to meet The Norwegian Royal family, Steve Tyler, Queen latfiah, Prize winners Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi to name a few.
We also had a great time at the after party and danced the night away.
We then caught an early flight home the next day and Steve Tyler was on our flight! Such a lovely guy and amazing talent.
I then got off the plane back in London and travelled to my next dance gig in Swindon. But that is another post :)

I have included some more photos of the show below. You can watch the performances on Sky arts 1 Channel on Monday 29th December at 10:00 am and New Years eve at 01:45am. I will post a link when it becomes available online.

Some of the photos are not great quality but I have included them anyway. Enjoy the photos!
