Bollywood and Bhangra – August 15
This series wraps up with an evening of Bollywood and Bhangra led by Tinny Juneja and Kashish Juneja, instructors from the Bollywood Dance Connection. The style of Bollywood mixes symbolic hand gestures, facial expressions, and foot movements, while Bhangra incorporates energetic kicks, leaps, and bends of the body. Attendees will be invited on a South Asian musical journey as a Dohl drummer from KGS Live Indian Entertainment collaborates with DJ Love of Desi Jammers to lay down rhythms.
