Move, groove, and learn some cool hip hop choreography.

Bollywood dance comes from India and is inspired by the colorful movies made in India. It mixes many fun styles like classical Indian dance, hip-hop, jazz, and even a little bit of drama- just like our Indian movies. During these classes, you won’t just learn dance steps — you’ll learn how to perform. Bollywood is all about big expressions, powerful energy, teamwork, and telling a story with your face and body. As someone who grew up in India, I’m excited to bring this vibrant part of my culture to the SFOA and share it with you. Whether you’re a trained dancer or just love to move, this is your chance to try something new, make friends, and light up the stage. No experience needed — just bring your energy and your best smile.
