About the Artist..
NAMASTE & WELCOME TO THE BOLLYWOOD STUDIO!
I am Pallavi and I’ve been teaching this incredible dance style to children, teenagers and women of all ages, shapes and sizes for years.
I have graduated in the classical Indian dance style of Bharatnatyam. Learning the 'mudras' (handwork), 'adavus' (footwork) and 'abhinaya' (emoting) in Bharatnatyam have made me the dancer I am today. This style with its techniques and discipline has laid a strong foundation for my BOLLYWOOD dance career.
I just love, love, love BOLLYWOOD because its so me! Its a fusion of everything beautiful and fun - old, new, classical, folk, contemporary, jazz, belly dance and of course the lovely emotions and stories. Bollywood is the only dance style that gets my heart racing and my feet moving.
Through my instructional DVDs, I want to bring a taste of my homeland India to you. Through my childhood in India, I have gathered beautiful memories of that culture and I want to bring that authentic experience to your homes. With bright fabrics, bangles, anklets & henna Bollywood dancing truly captures the beauty and joyous spirit of India.
Bollywood is my passion, my therapy, my joy. Hope you find that same joy in my DVDs. Hope you enjoy learning the dances and watching the performances. Make sure to send me a link to any YouTube performances you create from this- I’d really love to see them.
Keep Dancing,
Pallavi
