Course Details

Bollywood is a form of dance born thanks to Indian film productions, more precisely those of the Hindi language in Mumbai. It is a dance that is continuously renewed by merging Indian dances (classical, folk, popular) and foreign dances (jazz, hip-hop, contemporary, oriental dance, flamenco, disco…). 

The singing and dancing sequences have greatly contributed to the popularity of bollywood and showcased the stars of the screen. These sequences are distinguished by their sometimes exuberant staging and the presence of a large number of extras, sets and costumes. Bright colors and joie de vivre are waiting for you!

The Bollywood class allows you to approach Indian culture and cinema through one of its most fun and fascinating mediums: dance! You will learn basic techniques, combinations of movements and original choreographies. The course also leads participants to recognize classics and novelties. 

Accompanied by cultural information, the course teaches you to recognize the origin and meaning of certain movements, including using mudras (hand symbols) and exploring different styles of Indian dances to rhythmic and haunting music. 

At the same time energizing, lively and joyful, Bollywood is also an excellent cardio exercise of the most enjoyable with many benefits.

Some courses lead to performances on stage (on voluntary participation).

  • Teacher's Experience
  • Jill started bollywood a few years ago, captivated by the aesthetics, energy and colors of Indian cinema. She has followed several trainings in various styles in order to better understand the phenomenon and the vocabulary specific to bollywood: bharata natyam, gypsy dances of Rajasthan, bhangra, garba and dandiya, kathak, odissi and urban bollywood. She has studied notably with Ginette Dion-Ahmed, Amrita Choudhury, Lopa Serkar, Namrata Khandekar-Boileau, Rajesh, and is very inspired by the creations of Marie-Chantal Anctil. Her interest is also academic and she regularly draws on the work of renowned researchers in the field such as Sangita Shresthova. As an artist, she wants to make known the many facets of bollywood and make Indian dances more popular in Quebec; which motivates her to start teaching at Studio Danse Mirage in 2013 and to collaborate thereafter with other artists or organizations in the field to perform and teach across the province. Jill is best known for her dynamism and precision. In teaching, it aims to understand movements and the cultural notions that are often associated with them. In addition, it seeks to meet expectations as much as to innovate with originality and authenticity towards a completely "filmi" style. In addition to Indian dances, Jill has been practicing oriental and tribal dance (ATS) since 2006, has completed several folklore training courses and is part of Tribu Nataraja.
