It is the Indian counterpart of Hollywood. Basically Bollywood films means Indian films and Bollywood indicates
that they are in the language Hindi. There are other such ‘woods’, depending on the Indian state they are

How are Bollywood Films different from other Films?
Bollywood Films are basically Indian Films in the language Hindi. Generally speaking there are some distinct
traits in a Bollywood film which I have tried to list.
Bollywood films are usually much longer in duration. On an average about 3 hours with an interval in the
middle.
There has been a growing presence of Indian English in dialogue and songs as well.
It is common to see films that feature dialogue with English words (also known as Hinglish), phrases, or even
whole sentences.
Bollywood films have song and dance in them, which might come as a surprise to an average audience. In
Bollywood songs and dance indicate the emotion or feeling.
For example boy meets girls and a song might follow to indicate how madly the boy is in love with girl
or a song might be used to introduce the hero right at the beginning of a film
What is Bollywood Dance?
Simply speaking it is the dance style in the Bollywood films. It is freestyle dancing with a blend of some of the numerous
styles of dance featured in films, either in fusion form or in pure
forms, including Kathak, Bharatnatyam, Odissi, Garba & Bhangra as well as Belly-dance, Latin, Hip hop, Contempory and Jazz
just to
name a few! Bollywood dance itself is a style which encompasses all of these styles and more,as well as having its own unique
flavour and merit.
For example Jai Ho song in Slumdog millionaire and Talent performed by Miss America 2014.
How is Bollywood Dance Done?
Bollywood Dances typically comment on the action or event taking place in the movie, in several ways.The
movements in Bollywood dance are usually an enactment of that event in dance form. Sometimes, a dance is worked into the plot,
so that a character has a reason to dance. Other times, a dance is an externalisation of a character's thoughts, or presages
an event that has
not occurred yet in the plot of the movie. In this case, the event is often two characters falling in love.
For example Bollywood Dance depecting a flirting scene
Why Bollywood Dance?
Do I have to join on the first Monday of every month?
No, You can join any Monday of the month.But we advise New Joiners and Beginners to start either on the first or third monday of the month as that is when we start a new routine. And that way you can start fresh without needing to make up from the last class.
Do I have to reserve a place in advance?
No, as long as you have signed up online it is fine. But please note that we can accomodate only maximum of 20 students in the studio, and if we have more than 20 students preference will be given in the order of sign up on the website.
What does a typical Class look like?
A typical class will start off with a warm-up routine which will get you active and ready for the class. This will be
followed by
a few basic steps including both footworks and hand movements. After this we will work on learning the dance routine where
the basic steps will be used.
Finally we will close with a slow warm-up routine.
At the end of the class you will be able to do a 2-4 minute routine on a Bollywood song.
What to wear in terms of clothes and shoes?
What ever you are most comfortable in and also attire that won't restrict your movements. Wear comfortable clothes, which
allow you to move freely like in jumping, hopping, skipping.Most students wear yoga clothes, t-shirts,
tank tops, sweats, or other activewear; You are welcome to wear comfortable Indian clothes as well.
As for footwear, wear comfortable shoes. You are welcome to dance barefoot, or try dance sandals, jazz shoes,
or a dansneaker or just plain sneakers.
Some people prefer to dance with socks, if you don't mind them getting dirty.
Should I bring anything with me?
Bring a bottle of water with you to keep you hydrated. And lots of energy and smiles.
Is it Aerobic?
Yes, It does provide a good workout. However the main purpose of Bollywood dance is to let your hair down and relax and let your creativity flow.
