Jai Ho! Bollywood Dance Party

The name “Bollywood” is a portmanteau of Bombay (the former name for Mumbai) and Hollywood. The dancing in Older Bollywood films, was primarily modeled on classical Indian dance styles, while in modern films, Indian dance elements often blend with Western dance styles to create a unique fusion that can only be described as Bollywood Dance. The signature high-energy joyful dance and song of Bollywood has iconic following around the world.

Pure Bollywood Dance Party presents a unique opportunity to experience old school retro to latest Bollywood dance tunes seamlessly blended by Prashant. A trained Indian Classical singer, Prashant will also sing LIVE popular dance numbers as part of the DJ set.

No previous dance experience necessary as Prashant (NW Dance Project, PCC and PSU World Dance Faculty) will teach a special Bollywood Dance workshop beginning at 10:00 PM.

Come early for fun dance lessons and stay late to show off your new moves on the (spring loaded) dance floor!
