I have been in love with Bollywood films for so long. I always dreamed of dancing to the music of my favorite movies, Lagaan or Swades, but have not found what I am looking for. I have taken belly dancing courses, yet it is not quite what I am looking for. Then in Tucson, while working an event I saw the Boom Boom Bollywood group perform!! Wow, just what I had always dreamed!!!
I live in Montana now and am wanting to try to put together a community here that is interested in dancing. We have some bellydancers in town and I guess I was just looking for advice from anyone on how to start building a dancing community in this area of interest which is hard to find here in the cold Montana!! Plenty of dancers here, but not so many in the bellydancing/bollywood style that I have fallen for! Anything advice will help and much thanks!

Re: looking for advice
Thu, February 22, 2007 - 10:16 AMDang, I may be moving to Montana in August...depends on if my man gets the job he's applying for there or not. (Not that I'm much of a dancer...more of an appreciator wanting to get involved in classes when I have the time and $$$.)

Sat, February 24, 2007 - 8:39 PMIt's too bad that you are not in Vancouver! I am a professional belly dancer with a huge interest in Bollywood movies and dancing. I have choreographed many routines to Bollywood songs. (Belly dance routines with an East-Indian flair.) Perhaps you could try the East-Indian community in your area. My son and I recently started taking Indo-Jazz lessons and we love them! We are the only non-Indians in our respective classes (actually my son is half Indian), but of course that doesn't matter and the classes are so much fun! See if you can get hooked up with a group there. Good luck!

Mon, March 5, 2007 - 6:57 AMThanks for the advice! I will see what I can find here. There isn't a huge community here at all, so it may be challenging!! Thanks for the replies!
Where are you moving to in Montana? -

Tue, March 6, 2007 - 6:07 AMClaire, have you looked up Banghra, Barat Nathatiyum, or Kathak classes in your area? Bollywood dancing takes it's origins from some of these dance forms.
