One of my favorite scenes in Slumdog Millionaire, the 2009 Oscar Winner for Best Picture, is the great Bollywood dance scene during the movie credits. Every time I hear the dance song Jai Ho, I pretend to move like a Bollywood dancer. However, honestly, I have no idea what I am doing and probably look a little silly.

Therefore, wanting to learn a couple Bollywood dance moves, I did an Internet search and found a great online instructional. I had a lot of fun learning this cultural dance in the confines of my own home, and I am now inspired to take an actual class.

Now it’s your turn to try a few Bollywood moves. Click here and get moving!

What is Bollywood dancing?
According to Bollywood World, “Bollywood dancing is a commercial name for modern Indian dancing. It’s a combination of classical Indian dance (which is the base), folk dancing such as Bhangra and sometimes has a Latino and Arabic influence. It’s fun and very expressive and there’s a lot of deep meaning behind music in the films. You can actually express what the music means, through the graceful movements of the body.” To learn more about Bollywood, click here.
