About Bollywood
“Bollywood” is the name given to the Indian film/music industry, the largest movie production industry in the world. The dance form combines Folk, Classical, Garba, Bhangra, Hip-Hop, and Modern styles of dance. Most Indian movies have several Bollywood song/dance sequences, much like a musical.
Today, Bollywood dance is a popular style being performed at a variety of pop culture platforms such as “So You Think You Can Dance,” and “America’s Got Talent.” Bollywood dancing is the highlight of any Indian wedding as well as Indian festivals and holidays. Rangeela, Hindi for “colorful,” sums up Bollywood dance – vibrant, eclectic and filled with emotion.
