Bollywood is an umbrella term for any dance from the dramatic films of Bombay (aka Mumbai.)
Anjali is particularly inspired by the Kathak she grew up watching her Indian Mum perform and from the Mujra in vintage Urdu films.
Having studied Kathak herself as well as Bharat Natyam, Jazz, Ballet and the South Asian folk styles of Garba and Ghoomar, Anjali draws from
many dance traditions for her version of Filmi Item Girl aka Sassy Bollywood.
This workshop is taught in choreography form! You'll learn a progressing routine which helps you develop muscle memory and gives you something specific to practice at home or at Bollywood events!
Anjali, being the renown DJ that she is, will no doubt have a sweet sweet tune for your choreo. Enjoy!!!!
