So You Think You Can Dance - Bollywood - Blog Entry

10 Jul 2008 05:05 PM

Great to see Bollywood "dancing" being appreciated. Everyone is raving about the SYTYCD dance last night, but it's rather unfair to bring in "bollywood" into the competition, because it is not a defined dance style and there's no one to judge or critique it on the dancers.

Anyway, the workout dances are primarily based on the Punjabi "Bhangra" style dancing, which is a fast-paced dance with equally fast-paced music, typically drums. It's mostly aerobic dancing mixed with a few Bhangra body movements, set to Bhangra drumbeats ( see http://youtube.com/watch?v=H4JsY84wAw4 ) . You can see some of Sarina Jain's Bhangra workout video segments on Youtube also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m6lEAzkkIY
