Video: Bollywood Dance Styles Through the Decades
This was really fun! I was conducting a storytelling workshop with a group of theater students in Bangalore — in the lobby of the magnificent Ranga Shankara theater, where I had performed Citizen Josh the night before — and one of the students mentioned that she’d had to give a presentation on the evolution of Bollywood dance styles. I asked her to demonstrate, and after expressing a bit of shy reluctance she did so — and was eventually joined by many of the others (with all the students singing a musical accompaniment).

How wonderful! How lucky you are! It was hilarious, and the interaction between you and the students was priceless. How many of our kids could get up and do dance routines from memory? What a difference in cultures.
