Bollywood offers participants the opportunity to experience a unique approach to movement. Each class will begin with a light-cardio warm-up, and stretching followed by choreography from mainstream dance culture. The classes are designed to provide a total body workout through the colorful elegance, flair and passionate movement of Bollywood.
