Rachel loves to dance Bollywood because it brings her joy. The dance moves are fun. They can be anything from graceful and girly to boyish and bouncy. The music is awesome and when she hears it, it makes her want to shake her groove thang. Boom Boom Bollywood FAQ What is your Sun Sign? Pisces Which Bollywood star do you strive to emulate in your dance/character/style? Madhuri Dixit Which Bollywood star is your heart-throb? Shahrukh Khan What is your dance/theatre background? My performing experience goes back to when I was in grade school. I started off playing violin when I was in 2nd grade and stayed with it for 7 years. During that time I played with orchestras and in competitions. Once in high school I got the theater bug and became involved one way or another in every play or musical at the school. After high school the only drama I was involved in was my daily life. Then in 2002 I was introduced to the Domba studio where there are a lot of great dance classes and instructors. The classes I have taken there are Beginning Tribal Bellydance with Samantha Riggs as the instructor, a couple of Cabaret Classes with Ava Fleming, Bollywood/Bollywood Extreme with Samantha Riggs and POI with Joanna23. With what I have learned at Domba I have become involved in two performance groups. One is a fire POI group called Luxera and the other is BOOM BOOM Bollywood which I LOVE.
