Bollywood Dance Workshop

Join us for a vibrant and energetic dance experience inspired by the colorful, rhythmic styles seen in Indian cinema. Bollywood dance typically combines elements of traditional Indian dance forms like Bharatanatyam, Kathak, and Odissi with contemporary, pop, and folk styles. We will focus on the emotions and storytelling that Bollywood dances convey. All abilities and experience levels welcome! Let's dance! Open to families and adults.
