Bollywood dance is about storytelling. The songs are from the movies and are there for a particular reason — for example, a celebration song, a seduction song, a love song, a song of sadness. So when you dance it out, you are dancing to the words and mood. Different songs are used at different occasions … there are tons of wedding songs, which you will hear being played at every Indian wedding!
How does it work?
The dancing itself is a fusion of all dance forms. It could be Indian classical, Indian folk dance, belly dancing, jazz, hip hop and everything else you can imagine. Bollywood is all about fantasy and glamour and there really are no limits to the creativity (or cheesiness).
Why is it good for you?
Bollywood dance is a fantastic workout. It’s upbeat, energetic and gets a sweat happening pretty fast. It’s also so much fun and makes you laugh.
