BOLLYWOOD/DOONYA DANCE
Bollywood dance is easy on the eye. Dramatic facial expressions and cinematic pizzazz means any viewer, dance
aficionado or not, can follow the story. But beneath the fizz is a series of historic symbols and traditions, which
originate in India's numerous traditional dance forms. Classical dance forms such as  Bharatnatyam and Kathak, Each have their own unique styles, but they often share signs and meanings that arencombined to create modern Bollywood dances.
Classical Indian dance incorporates two basic elements - abhinaya (expression) and nritya (pure dance). Nritya is
displayed through rhythms and physical movements to musical phrases - it is dance in its purest form. Abhinaya is
rooted in expressions and emotions, and aims to bring life to the story behind the dance. Mudras are a separate set of
hand gestures used across a number of classical Indian dance forms. These are very important if you want to be a
Bollywood dancer, you have to know the basics. The neck movement is predominantly an aesthetic part of the
dance, but it also adds a sense of fluidity.
