Our Bollywood Dance for Beginners course is a fun and energetic introduction to the vibrant world of Bollywood dancing. In this class, you'll learn the basic steps and techniques that make up Bollywood dance. Each week, we’ll help you build your confidence by learning short routines, which come together into a fun, choreographed dance by the end of the course.
Throughout the course, you’ll build physical strength, flexibility, and stamina to support high-energy routines, while developing the confidence and stage presence needed to perform with charisma and impact. You'll enhance your coordination and body control, refining hand, foot, and full-body movements for greater precision. In addition, you'll gain cultural awareness through exposure to Indian dance traditions, storytelling techniques, and stylistic nuances.
