By Lavania and Sneh of Dance Embassy (Singapore)

Premieres 12 Oct 2020, Mon, 8pm

Extravagant, energetic and invigoratingly colourful, Bollywood films are loved by millions of people around the world. From a subculture that evolved from small neighbourhoods, Indian hip-hop or desi hip-hop (with “desi” referring to the South Asian diaspora) has found increasing popularity (it’s even on Will Smith's bucket list) and a growing presence in Bollywood. In this fun-sized online tutorial aimed at beginners, Lavania and Sneh from Dance Embassy will break down the moves that make Bollywood movies spectacular and help participants achieve finesse with style and swagger. Learn the basic steps in desi hip hop as you groove to Bollywood tunes.

An award-winning dance company, Dance Embassy is not only sought-after for Indian weddings but also the go-to choreographer for many Bollywood celebrities. It has been featured regularly in the media over the years.
