Information about Bollywood:
 
Bollywood refers to the Bombay/Mumbai-based Hindi Language Film Industry, which is the largest film industry in the world...
even making more movies a year then the USA!
"Bollywood" comes from the words "Bombay" + "Hollywood".  
 
 
Bollywood Dance comes from a mix of styles of dancing:
   -Classical Dance  (like bharatanatyam) (Bhur - ut - NAHT - yum)
   -Folkloric Dance (like bhangra)  (BHUNG - rah)
   -Western Influences (like jazz, or hip-hop)
   -Middle Eastern & Latin Dance
....and as we know, it can be a GREAT cardio workout!

Local Bollywood Movie Theater
 
On May 29, 2009 a new Bollywood Theater opened in Niles!
The theater is in the Golf Mill Shopping Center, 9180 Golf Rd., and it specializes in Hindi-language films from Mumbai, India—popularly known as Bollywood—as well as movies in other languages, including Korean, Polish and Chinese. Films in dialects from other regions of India, such as Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Kannada, Bengali, Marthi and Punjabi, have also been shown or are scheduled.
 
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In Class:
 
In class we will start with a slowed-down modified version
of the footwork, every 2 counts.
If you are ready for footwork up to tempo, the move is usually every count!
Either tempo you decide is fine- please work your own pace!
 
 
As you are dancing, please use the "talk test".
Which mean if you can't talk without panting, you are working too hard.
 
 
 It is traditional to dance bare foot, however in class I suggest dance/gym shoes.
 
As you are dancing REMEMBER the short lever vs. long lever concept!!
 
 Have FUN exploring the Bollywood videos!
 
 
Bollywood Songs / Videos:
 
"Chaiyya Chaiyya"    (video)    (video with English subtitles) from the movie "Dil Se"
 
"Rock N'Roll Soniye"  (lyrics)  from the movie 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna"
 
"Badi Mushkil"   (video)   (lyrics)  from the movie "Lajja"
 
"Kajrare" (video)  (video with English subtitles)  (lyrics)  from the movie "Bunty Aur Babli/Bubbly"    This is one of my favorite videos!
 
"Hey Now"/"Dus Bahane"   (lyrics)    from the movie "Dus"
 
"Maahi Ve"    (video)   (video with English subtitles)   (lyrics)  from the movie "Kal Ho Na Ho"
 
 
 I will have the class CDs available in class.
My original "Chaiyya Chaiyya" has a skip, so does the one we hear in class.
