Introduction to Bollywood.
Anand Bhatt was the kingpin of Bollywood dance in the Belgrave area of Leicester. Outside this area of Belgrave, he wasn't really well known as a dancer. But he hopes to be able to show the Dance City Pros in this class, how much fun Bollywood can be. Anand thinks that Bollywood is not really easily identifiable as a dance form in its own right. The term Bollywood was coined to describe a film industry from Mumbai. So in theory any song and its choreography released by the film could be classified as a Bollywood dance from Indian classically influenced to NY Hip Hop - and anything in between. However, there are elements of 'filmi' dance which can feel quite Indian. Anand will deliver a fun, expressive session, where you take on a Bollywood character. It is musical theatre, but in the Hindi language. Chill out, fun out and enjoy being a Bollywood Gunda for the morning. Shamone.

Go straight to your studio when you arrive, and show your E-ticket to the teacher using your phone or print out from home. The café remains closed for now.
