Bollywood & Indian Fusion Dance

Each class offers an aerobic, injury-preventative warm-up of light cardio, integrated with stretching and preparatory technical exercises for indian dance movement. Following warm-up, students will learn choreography to popular Bollywood songs and Indian chart-toppers, progressing over several classes.  

We recommend students bring a bottle of water to class. Comfortable and appropriate active/exercise attire suggested. You may dance in non-marking sneakers, jazz shoes, dansneakers, or barefoot, as you find most comfortable. 

Our classes are fun, casual, and informal. Feel free to ask questions anytime, sing along, or dress in Indian attire—whatever will help you get in the mood and have a great time! Some prior dance experience, vocabulary or knowledge is helpful, though not required.

The contemporary Bollywood dance style is a fusion of traditional and folk dances, classical Indian dance—like Kathak and Bharatanatyam, and western influences—jazz, hip hop, and modern. Every few classes we will learn a new song, ranging from folk or classical style to the latest music video moves.

Bollywood & Bhangra classes are wildly popular in NY, LA, and London, especially with the celebrity set—stars like Shakira, Britney Spears, Nelly Furtado, and the Black Eyed Peas have incorporated Indian style into their songs, videos, and stage shows—now see what all the international excitement is about!

Class Schedule & Locations
(Summer 2008)

Advance registration is required for all Bollywood West dance classes—email us today to check availability or to register for our ongoing classes.

Contact us for more information or to pre-register. If you are interested in private lessons for individuals or small groups, we’d love to hear from you. Our group classes are an introduction to the style of bollywood and Indian-fusion dance, not an introductory dance class. Any prior experience, even from childhood, is highly beneficial in taking our classes.
