Terence Lewis
Bollywood Dance

Bollywood Dance feel the glamour, the spice, the kitsch The class focuses on the uniqueness of the Indian Bollywood Film dance. Bollywood dance borrows from Indian folk dance, the classic Kathak form as well as the new age MTV Culture of the West. This blend of the traditional and the classic with the modern has made this brand of dancing popular all over the world. Bollywood has progressively become a full-fledged dance form in itself. All Indians believe that dance is not only told through the body, but also through the face, the Andaaz, and through the hand gestures, the Mudras. Through his class, the choreographer aims at bridging the cultural gap between the East and West. What makes Terence Lewis’ class unique is his base in Western contemporary dance. Terence thus aims at offering the Indian dance elements with a western tone and technique which is comprehensible to the European mindset. “With conceptual dancing now popular on the European stage, I wish to reach the other extreme end of the scale, get the joy, the fun back into dance. Feel the true flavor of Indian Bollywood - the glamour, the spice, the kitsch. Walk into my class - with or without prior training - and I challenge you, I’ll make a ‘diva’ out of you.”
