Raj Parmar

With connections to radio station Sunrise, Raj was offered unique exposure to the media world from an early age, training as a presenter and going on to host the Urban Masti Show.

In his work as a presenter for Sunrise Radio, Raj has interviewed several luminaries from the Bollywood and Lollywood industries, including Akshay Kumar, Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, Vivek Oberoi, Rajeshwari Sachdev, Juhi Chawla, Kajal, Saif Ali Khan, Karisma Kapoor and Bipasha Basu.

Alongside his presenting work with Sunrise, Raj has hosted a number of live stage events and is a mainstay at the Bradford mela.

Alongside hosting training courses at the academy, he regularly conducts many dance workshops at schools, community centres and arts organisations such as Kala Sangam.

The three-part documentary saw Raj train under dancer Wayne Sleep and eventually play the role of the villain Baron von Rothbart in the ballet Swan Lake.
