Boom Boom Bollywood is a troupe of theatrical stage addicts dedicated to the performance and appreciation of dance forms found in the Hindi movie musical cultural phenomenon. Bollywood dance is a melting pot of classical East Indian dance, modern jazz, hip-hop and Bhangra infused with the romantic plots found in most Hindi films. We extract works of the great Bollywood choreographers straight from the films, preserving their sense of comedy and drama... and sometimes feel compelled to choreograph from our own experience!
We began as a dance class at the Domba Studio (now the Plaza de Anaya Studio) in 2003... and once the class was over we did not want to stop dancing! The answer seemed to be: "Form a dance team" ...and here we are.
We believe that through the appreciation of the magic, fun, music, dance and drama of Bollywood Cinema, links of understanding can form between the Indian and American communities. Tears of joy and tears of sadness, strength in family, the power of love, the power of music and dance, all represented in the glitter of bangles on a wrist, the swirl of a kurta in a dancer’s energetic leap, the flash of a jeweled bindi or the sequins on a sari. Somehow the culture of Hindi cinema is speaking to our hearts here in Tempe, Arizona and we want to share it with everyone!
