A Mesmerizing Evening of Classical Indian Dance & Bollywood Fusion Workshops

On Saturday, October 5, our team ran a Classical Indian (Bharatnatyam) and Bollywood Fusion workshop to inspire the participants taking our Bollywood Dance and Fitness programs physically, mentally, and artistically. After seeing lots of big smiles, hearing lots of laughter, and getting to see the beauty and gracefulness in their movements, I think we did just that.

During the 3-hour workshop, participants were taught a history of the dances they were learning, the meaning behind the songs, and beginner steps and techniques in Classical Indian Dance (Bharatnatyam), Classical Indian dance with Bollywood Fusion, and Bollywood Dance Choreography (an evolution of iconic moves and songs from the 70’s to now). All instructors provided professional, easy to follow, and exciting learning experiences for the participants.

Although we’re sad that the workshop is over, we look forward to putting on another workshop series in February for all of you who want to join us!

Bollywood Magic At The Tibetan Women's Association Fundraiser

Bollywood Magic At The Tibetan Women's Association Fundraiser

On August 31, Kalsang, and the dedicated Tibetan Women’s Association volunteer committee invited me to their 2019 Annual Bollywood Fundraiser to put on a Bollywood dance lesson for over 200 lovely women joining them. As I’m all about making workouts fun and good causes, I was thrilled to hop on board and help raise funds for their community needs!

If you grew up in Toronto, like me, than you know, that if anyone knows Bollywood, it’s the Tibetans! For this reason, I spent extra time getting their input on songs for the night so that I could make their Bollywood night everything they saw in the movies, and more!

During the one-hour lesson, the women learned 6 easy to follow dance moves to Saki Saki. With practice and lots of laughing, the women performed the entire routine for me, and most importantly, themselves. We also busted out a friendly competition where one lucky lady walked out with a belly dance scarf.
