BOLLYWOOD BASICS
Bollywood dancing is the commercial name for modern Indian dance. It is fun with expressive gestures that have deep meaning. The music is from the Mumbai-based Hindi-language film industry in India. The roots of bollywood dance originates from sacred Indian classical dance and branches out to cover the diverse folkloric dance forms that originate from various states of India like bhangra and all the fun fusions eg. Arabic, Latin, Reggae etc.

HAWAIIAN DANCE BASICS
The Hula is a form of dancing native to Hawaii. It provides entertainment but has its roots in ancient ritual. The purpose of Hula dancing is to convey meaning through movement, intertwining the performers with the spirit of the universe by unifying their existence with nature. Over the 4 week course, the group will practise the basic techniques (ami, ka’o, kaholo etc) and one mele (song) .

It’s fun, sensual and challenging at the same time. Once reserved for the privacy of Gentlemen's clubs, pole dancing is now recognized as an artform requiring significant strength, flexibility and endurance. Upper body and core strength are required for the more athletic moves such as climbs, spins, and body inversions.
