About Bollywood

A single Bollywood film number may draw from a dozen different dance traditions creating an endlessly varied and exciting movement language. Bollywood dance has gained massive global popularity through the worldwide reach of Indian cinema and the growth of South Asian diaspora communities across the United States.
