What’s it all about?

Immerse yourself in the colourful and vibrant world of Bollywood. This workshop will be a fun and exciting way to learn the art of modern Indian dance.

Mentally and physically invigorating – Bollywood dance will leave you wanting more.

What will we cover?

We will begin with a basic history of Bollywood dance and explore how it came to be almost a fashion in the Western world. To strengthen that understanding we will view a short video clip which will show the many aspects of Bollywood dance.

Following this, the teacher will do a demonstration leading to a fun and energetic choreography that we will learn and practice together. You will also receive a copy of the music to practise your Bolly-moves at home.
