TBA – Introduction to BOLLYWOOD
Bollywood Fusion combines the style of dance seen in films produced in Bombay with Indian folk dance, Middle Eastern dance, and all manner of Western dance styles. We’ll explore both the modernized and classical sides of Bollywood dance, creating a high-energy, exciting, and expressive atmosphere that’s open to all levels of dancers.

Q: what do I wear?
A: Generally you want to be comfortable – same dress for Yoga is the most common. Most students wear yoga pants, stretchy pants etc. that they can move in. We tend to do an aerobic warm up and a stetchy cool down as well, so it is good to feel comfortable and free in movement. For the tops, tank tops, and more fitted T shirts are good as well. It is helpful to the instructor if your cloths are not too baggy so we can see if you are doing the moves correctly, and it will also better help you see how you are moving as well. In bellydance we tend to dance in barefeet, however you are welcomed to keep your socks on, or wear slippers or dance shoes (indoor)
Q: I have two left feet, no rhythm, and I’ve never danced before, can I do this?
A: Of course! Bellydance is a great way to get moving. It is moderate impact, and great for learning about movement and muscles you never knew you had! At Down Hips we start of slow, and break down each movement into detailed technique to better help you understand what is happening. Since bellydance uses isolation and movement that is not “natural” at first to western women, everyone is in the same boat when you start. You are training to move your body in ways it doesn’t often move! Bellydance requires no previous experience in dance or movement in order to try it out – it only requires the motivation to put yourself out there and give it a try!
