Bollywood Dance Classes Around Australia

My city council’s handbook of local amenities has just arrived in the letterbox, and I find that, even here in the Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, Bollywood dance classes are available. Using Google, I decided to try to draw up a list of classes throughout Australia. 

Mango Dance Studios, founded by Farah Shah, provides Bollywood classes, workshops and kids’ programmes in Sydney (and, from July 2007, in Melbourne). You can read a little more about it here and here.

Dance Central in Sydney provides Bollywood dance classes, as well as lessons in a wide variety of other styles. Also in Sydney, Pampered Hens organizes home lessons in Bollywood dance for ladies’ groups. And there's Bollygrooves.

Bollywood Dreams in Brisbane, which is also involved in the movie business, offers dance classes in Brisbane, Melbourne and the Gold Coast.

Also in Melbourne, Hip to Hip Middle Eastern Dance Studio provides Bollywood dance tuition from the Jhanak Dance Company, and Christine Sully at Bellacize offers belly dance, Bollywood and pole dance fitness classes.

Still in Melbourne, check out Dancehouse for Bollywood dance workshops, as well as Glittery Tapping Wonderland, a Melbourne dance studio - run by the “original and glamorous Miss Lou Lou” - that offers Bollywood tuition.

Also in Melbourne, check out the Council of Adult Education for Bollywood workouts.

The Ausdance SA website has information on dance classes in Adelaide, including Bollywood dance tuition from Vinay Kumar.

Also in Adelaide, and offering Bollywood and BollyFunk (which incorporates Bollywood styles with Jazz, R 'n' B and Hip Hop), is Fusion Beats.

In Perth, try The Dance Workshop.

Dance Teachers Online is a massive international site, with details of teachers in all styles, including several offering Bollywood dance instruction. There are separate pages for NSW, Victoria, South Australia, Western Australia, Queensland, Tasmania, Northern Territory and ACT (though not all regions offer Bollywood teachers).

The Dancing Shoes Australia website contains many links to dance studios.

And I’m sure there’s plenty more. Check local community listings. You could be surprised.
