Bollywood and
Classical Indian Dance

What is Bollywood Dancing?

Bollywood dancing is a commercial name for modern Indian dancing, which originated in Indian musical films. While based on classical Indian dance and folk dancing from all over India (well known "Bhangra") it incorporates western elements such as jazz, hip-hop and sometimes even Latino and Arabic beats and sways. It's fun, upbeat, colorful and very expressive. Because this type of music/dance generally accompanies films, the meaning of both dance and music add to and reflect the meaning of the films, themselves. The meaning of the music is expressed through the graceful movements of the body.
