Workshop: Indian Dance

Indian dancing is all about colours and emotions; the movement focuses on hips and hands, and facial expressions are key! Originally the dance sequences were based around classical and folk dancing. These days, however, the dance consists of a fusion of classical, folk, Street dance, jazz and many western influences such as hiphop and breakdance.
