Come celebrate the first day of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month with a Bollywood Dance class led by Gayatri a trained dancer and a member of our school community!
This is an introduction to Bollywood Dance and the culture that it is steeped in. We will start with a stretch to awaken the body in the form of Surya Namaskars.
We'll then learn introductory Bollywood dance movements, during which participants are welcome to engage in dramatic play with available Bindis, Bangles, Dupattas (scarves) and toddler-sized skirts.
Then we'll discover the rhythm in Bollywood songs through the use of rhythm sticks. After which, we'll twirl to the melody using ribbons and scarves. Finally, we'll soak in our experience by ending in a cool down breath and laying in a restful Shavasana.
Age: 2+ and up
