Bollywood
Bollywood dance originates from, of course, the glamourous Bollywood. It is often telling a story or conveying emotions through choreography. The dance style is known for its versatility and ability to adapt to various music genres, making it both entertaining and culturally rich.
What to expect
Techniques
At Mamangam, we will break down Bollywood dance to its basics, varying from our common go-to thumkhas to the more complex spins of kathak. Bollywood dance combines elements of traditional Indian dance forms, such as Bharatanatyam, Kathak, and Bhangra, with modern dance styles like hip-hop, jazz, and contemporary. We will explore different styles and songs to understand your expression and style of Bollywood.
Class Design
Classes are held once weekly for a duration of 90 mins.
We will be covering the following each class: – warm up exercises- specific techniques and basics – improvisation techniques – choreography practice- cool down/stretching exercises
Our monthly goals would be to finish and shoot 30 secs to 1 min choreographies. Analysing, practising, and understanding your body and mind as a dancer as time goes by.
Our 3 months goal will be to showcase a 2 min choreography for one of our Bollywood Workshops. That way, we work up your confidence and skills as a performer at a small scale before we hit the stage!
Our 6 months goal would be to complete a complex choreography of two styles. We explore and have fun with it! Remember, dancing is an expression, we are not looking for perfection, we are looking to move to the music like we are one with it and you can be that!
Our 1-year goal will be to do a Dhamaka Performance on stage! Cannot wait for everyone to see what you guys have in store!
Focus and Approach
Bollywood dance focuses on conveying a story/energy of a song through our expressions and movements, by following the rhythm, lyrics, and style of song.
Our approach in class will be to understand the lyrics, the energy, your natural style that you can bring to it combined with the style of the song, learning the basics, and building a foundation from which we can build our Bollywood Star.
