So What About Bollywood for Dance Cardio?

Dance-based workouts, from Zumba to Bollywood  take your fitness from boring to fun.

It's kind of like killing two birds with one stone because you are learning the basics of a world dance while burning calories and getting good cardiac workouts.  After class you are dripping with sweat and feel completely exhilirated.
Bollywood cardio fitness classes are not the dancer's regular dance class.  There is a distinction betweent he technique-based dance classes and true dance fitness classes. These bollywood workouts command center stage.

Fitness is the goal, you simplify the moves and get more aerobic elements and save learning the "art" for another avenue.

Bollywood Gypsy Fitness dancing is a fusion of traditional and folk dances, Middle Eastern and Gypsy dance styles, classical Indian dance and western influences such as jazz, hip hop, and modern. An easy to follow dance class that will have you sweating as much as smiling! No previous knowledge of dance or music is required.
Most people that take these classes are neither dancers nor indian and that is what makes the class so atractive.  When you hear it you want to break out!!!

"(Choosing the) music is half the battle," Nath said. "Most people in my class are neither dancers nor Indian, so that's what makes the class so attractive. When you hear it you want to break out."
Great music, fun and easy to do moves and the excitement of forgettng you are exercising is probably why the Latin-inspired dance fitness Zumba has been so successful.
