Bollywood Class

In this class you will have an opportunity to learn some Bollywood moves with expert Geethanjali, who is originally from India and has training in classical Indian dance. Some of you know her from Zumba. She will be subbing the Zumba class that day, while I am in Cuba on our Zumba / Dance trip. Geethanjali is fun and high energy. I encourage you to join. Anyone can join this class.

Bollywood dances orginate from the Indian film industry, and are energetic, and vibrant with lots of glamour and colourful costumes. The dance style is informal and so much fun with emphasis on  musicality, beat, catchiness and storytelling: celebratory, seductive, sad, a love song, and more. The cinematic dance is heavily influenced by the classical styles of India like Bharatnatyam and Kathak and also western styles like Jazz, Contemporary and Hip Hop. Becasue of this, there is a lot of freedom to experiment and contribute to this evolving, easy-going dance form.
