Bollywood Stories: Dance, Culture & Community

Learn Bollywood dance as an art form and a way to explore storytelling, cultural expression, creativity, and community connection in this interactive workshop. Led by emerging dance artist and choreographer Jiya Kaemra, the workshop will provide a welcoming introduction to foundational Bollywood dance movements. Participants will explore rhythm, musicality, expression, and the ways emotion and narrative can be communicated through movement. Working together, participants will learn a short Bollywood choreography, followed by an opportunity for sharing and connection. No previous dance experience is required. Participants will be encouraged to engage at their own comfort level, and adaptable movement options will be offered to support different ages, abilities, and levels of mobility. Registration required.
