About Bollywood
The name "Bollywood"
is a portmanteau derived from Bombay and Hollywood, referring to the Indian
commercial cinema. Bollywood dance is a mix of traditional Indian dances, such
as Kathak, Bharata Natyam and Odissi, combining elements of traditional eastern
dances with salsa, flamenco, jazz, hip-hop, modern dance and musical. It's a
rather energetic dance, full of positive energy, with theatrical and
storytelling elements.
