What is Bollywood?

It’s the informal colloquial term used for Hindi film industry that closely resembles Hollywood. Indian film industry (Bollywood) churns out more movies than Hollywood. Bollywood is popular for its fast paced and high energy song-and-dance numbers that are weaved into Indian movies. Bollywood dance is synonymous with Slumdog Millionaire. You should also associate this style of dancing with several other hit movies such as Lord of War, The Accidental Husband, Lagaan and Couples Retreat where Oscar winner music-composer AR Rahman has composed inspiring Bollywood music for Hollywood movies.

How is Bollywood different from other dances?

Bollywood dancing has a unique characteristic in the fact that it is requires waist and hip movements. Kriti Dance teaches participants exactly that! The coordination of shoulders, waist, hips, and feet movements is captivating and enjoyable. It’s fun to watch our participants break into giggles of laughter once they discover how many parts of the anatomy they have to shake at once. Most people have seen or danced hip-hop, jazz and cheer that are the norm. What's different here is a freestyle combination of all these into one. That's what Bollywood dance includes. The dancing style can be flexible and adaptable to the participant's needs. Kriti Dance creates workshops and classes to go as slow or fast as it fits the participants. Our Bollywood workout workshops are akin to cardio workouts - except the participants enjoy the workshops instead of thinking them as work!

Why should I learn Bollywood dances?

Bollywood originates from the Indian film industry. Bollywood dances are energetic & vibrant as the songs themselves so get ready to learn dance moves and get opportunities to perform! Within few classes, participants will learn the facial expressions during dances, contemporary & traditional Indian dance moves, audience involvement - not to mention having fun while learning!
