Bollywood encompasses a whole universe. Even though it is most commonly associated with its film industry, its music and dance are more than well-known around the world. Dance and songs in Bollywood movies are what have made them so popular, providing a whole cultural value. This eclectic dance culture has expanded all throughout the world, and today we share with you some festivals and competitions from several countries.
We offer Bollywood Dance lessons for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced students. This fusion dance class brings you the best of the expressive beauty and contagious energy of Bollywood’s most stylized dances and mashes them up with the influences of Hip Hop, Latin, Jazz, Funk and Street styles.
