Bollywood Dance reflects a fusion of old and new, tradition and modernism, classical heritage and pop culture. Explore this fun dance style through a class hosted by University Recreation. 

Classical Indian dance styles often use movements to reflect and interpret song lyrics. This class will teach the basics of these movements, mixed with a modern hip-hop flair. Students will progress to choreographing a dance in the Bollywood style. 

“We are excited to provide this style of dance class as it offers both a cultural and physical experience for the participant,” said Katie Helms, assistant director for University Recreation.

No prior dance experience is necessary, and all levels are welcome. 

  • Dates: Tuesdays, Feb. 10 to March 17 (six weeks)
  • Times: 7-8 p.m.
  • Location: HPER 216
  • Cost: $30 U of A students; $45 UREC members; $60 UREC non-members. Eligible UREC non-members include UA faculty/staff and Arkansas Alumni Association members
