The dance involves lots of twisting, stretching and jumping, with an added touch of drama.The centre of the Bollywood film industry is the Indian city of Mumbai, which used to be called Bombay.Bollywood films are famous for their glitzy musical numbers with elaborate and energetic dance scenes.These dance scenes are now forming the basis for a high-energy workout with a pumping Bollywood soundtrack. Fitness instructors in LA say bringing Bollywood dance into the mix encourages people who would normally shy away from the traditional gym.The classes spread knowledge about Indian culture and are popular because they require a reasonable about of fitness. Bollywood's popularity comes as no surprise to beauty consultant Shalini Vadhera, the author of \"Passport to Beauty\".She says: \"Bollywood Is India's biggest film industry and every Indian movie has these amazing dance scenes. It's a great dance. It came from the Indian culture. North India has a dance called Bhangra which is really all the rage right now. You're seeing it everywhere and it's probably the most fun dance that you can do.\"In this studio, students are learning Bollywood dance from one of its leading teachers, Achinta S. McDaniel the artistic director of the Blue13 Dance Company. She explains: \"People don't have to go to the gym to workout. They just come to class to go crazy, to let their hair down, to really be a Bollywood diva or divo for the guys, and just let loose and take a one hour dance class with me screaming and yelling at them the whole time so they don't know what to do but give face and give a lot of drama and sweat and do a lot of bouncing around and jumping, and turning and twirling and twisting and singing along with the music.\"According to McDaniel: \"It's a good workout because it gets your cardio going. It gets your heart rate up. It gets all your big muscle groups going, your quads, you're glutes, everything pumping at the same time but all at the same time, while you're sweating and freaking out and going crazy, you're also having a great time giving face. It's not like you're on a treadmill or on the elliptical (crosstrainer) for an hour so I think that's really why people gravitate towards it. It's just a good way of getting a workout without really thinking about myself as going to the gym.\"As well as the Indian Bhangra beats, the tutors mix classical, folk, Arabic, Latin and funk styles of dance.And let's not forget the all important facial expressions, just as crucial here as they are in ballet.McDaniel puts the class through its paces: \"Okay now back to your fierce self. Okay, in this one we have to have affect sexy boredom, okay. So we're going to put ourselves in a 1980's Mumbai discotheque. One and two, travel, three and four now give me what I call double crazy. Yeah, double crazy. Give me face though, Yeah. Use that centre and kind of lean away from them but give me smoothing to look at, begrudgingly stare at them. Here we go, and a five, six, group one let's go.\"This dance studio is just a short walk from the Dolby Theatre where the glittering Oscars ceremony attracts stars from cinema to the red carpet.The studio is also used to train celebrities for television dance shows and professionals come here just to enjoy it. Armando Yearwood, who dances for the stage version of the Disney hit Frozen says: \"It's a lot more cardio than other dance styles. There is a lot of arm movement, a lot of leg movement and just a lot of movement in general so it really gets your heart rate up and pumping.\"Angelique Merchant uses the classes to destress and reinvigorate herself: \"Once I take this class, I just immediately go straight to heaven. I'm so connected. I love it because as a producer and actress I'm constantly busy and I just want to be present with my body and I just don't want to be distracted at all. With dance, especially with Achinta's dance class, she does so many movements, hand movements and everything, so I cannot think about anything else.\" The group sessions encourage everyone to become less self conscious.Tracey Murphy a veterinarian technician, says it's improved her confidence.\"For me I think it just helps me sort of break out of my shell a little bit especially because I love the hand movements. I love how exacting she is in terms of just keeping your fingers crisp and everything. Yeah, it just sort of helped me loosen up a little bit. Normally I would be very I don't know a little bit intimidated about dancing in public, but now it's loosened me up quite a bit and I really enjoy getting into it and I really love the Bollywood music too.\"Los Angeles, US - 6 December 20161.
