The term ''Bollywood'' refers to India's enormous film industry that is located in Bombay (now known as ''Mumbai.'')
Bollywood movies, like the old American musical comedies, feature big production numbers with lots of dancing, singing,
melodrama and romance. Dancing is an important and beloved part of Bollywood films. Although Bollywood choreographies
originally drew from classical Indian dance and folk forms, belly dance, hip-hop, and jazz elements have recently entered
the mix. This Bollywood choreography will be the hottest one yet, with sensuous moves, sassy hips and and flirtatious elements.

Don't miss this chance to live out your Bollywood Fantasy!
