Bollywood is considered to be the Hollywood of India, the second grandest film industry in the world from a revenue perspective. It is the grandest in the world in terms of total flicks produced annually.
Several differences exist however between Bollywood and Hollywood, and the biggest difference in Bollywood is the singing and dancing that is part of the story itself. Do not fast forward those!
Bollywood dancing is not only a popular dance form in India, but now also in the USA, especially in areas where there is a large Indian audience. The Dallas Texas area is one example. Dallas is a big metroplex that is a melting pot. There are people from everywhere living and working in Dallas, and of those there are a significant number of Indians as well.
There are several states in India, each very unique and distinct. Dallas has Indians from every state in India. A parallel between all the states is the love and attraction toward the Bollywood film industry.
Watching movies is the number one past time in India no matter what state you take. It always has been and still is today. Bollywood dancing is enjoyed by many, males and females, youngsters and adults in several shapes and forms.
For example, bollywood dances are popular wedding presentations, or stage shows. They are also popular in friends get togethers held either publicly or privately.
Many bollywood dance classes exist in India that are taught even by the most amateur teachers. And while these classes exist in abundance in India, they are not so much in the United States. Tons of Indian dance class companies have come up recently after recognizing that there is an increasing interest in Bollywood dancing in America not only within Indians but also Americans.
The same can be said for Dallas Texas where there are tons of Indians. Many yearn for their kids to attend Indian dance classes, and bollywood dancing is one way they get their fix. These classes have really done well in Dallas, and based on the trend it looks like bollywood dance classes will only continue to rise in popularity.
