Bollywood Dance
Learn some of the basics of Bollywood and Bhangra dance. Bollywood is India’s movie industry which displays performing arts (eg dance) and emotions through film, in a very colourful, vibrant, energetic and often comical way. Bhangra, North Indian folk dancing, is a lively dance which traditionally celebrated a successful harvest yield . Many of the dance steps depict the song lyrics, and so a translation/meaning of the song will often be given prior to teaching that step. Dance steps will be taught in a very relaxed, interactive, fun fashion. We build up to a dance medley with set sequences, by the end of the course.
