Watching ‘Maar Dala’ song performed by the dancing queen Madhuri Dixit from the ‘Devdaas’ movie was a turning point for me. She recalls at that time, “T here was no one to teach these dance styles in Greece” She was introduced to ‘dance’ as a subject in her Drama school and developed an immense interest in dancing since then! In 2005, when she was playing a character of an Indian girl in a play, she was first introduced to the world of Bollywood and Indian dances. We spoke to a few non-Indian dancers who are learning and performing Bollywood dances along with Indian classical dance forms in various parts of the world and we found interesting opinions of them.Īnna Dimitratoufrom Athens, Greece is trained in ballet, jazz, hip hop, contemporary and oriental (middle-eastern dances) belly dance styles and has worked as an actress after graduating from a Professional Drama School in 2003. We tried to find out if, in any way, Bollywood dancing is paving a path for Indian classical dance forms and artists abroad? There are some people who are performing fusion dances with Bollywood dance styles calling it ‘Bollywood Kathak’, ‘Bolly Bharatnatyam’ and so on. India is known for Bollywood, cricket and its culture! We all know that Bollywood films are world famous and many Bollywood stars have their huge fan following worldwide…Indian classical dances and music have been used for many Bollywood songs as their base for composition and choreography! We are also observing an increasing popularity of Indian classical dance forms in foreign countries, more and more non-Indian dancers are learning and performing Indian dance forms, migrated Indian dancers are spreading this art form in different parts of the world and number of International dance festivals are inviting Indian classical dancers!!
