Welcome to Bollywood Funk NYC Dance School! We are New York City's only dance school specializing in Bollywood Funk - a fusion dance style incorporating Jazz, Hip-Hop and Funk with the flavor of Bollywood Masala. Founded in the summer of 2007, Bollywood Funk NYC has grown rapidly as an institution, providing innovative, high quality dance instruction and personal attention to every student. The school provides instruction at many levels ranging from beginner, intermediate to advanced and beyond. Unlike most dance schools that teach a variety of dance styles, we specialize in one style, allowing our students to experience true growth, as they excel and improve to the best of their abilities. Our classes are focused on providing the fun element of Bollywood, but at the same time teach students the "technique" and the “art” of performing. The goal is to execute choreography most effectively and with the most impact. “There is a common misperception that Bollywood dancing does not involve much technique and that it is relatively easier than most dance styles,” says Bollywood Funk NYC Founder and Artistic Director Ayesha. “However, if you look at a contemporary dance number from any popular Bollywood film out right now, the featured background dancers are in reality all trained dancers, from established dance institutions, who have studied a variety of dance styles and techniques for years… and these are the kinds of dancers that Bollywood is now demanding.” While our students hail from many cultures, representing a wealth of nations from around the globe, we all share the same ardor and passion for Bollywood. We welcome students from all backgrounds, each with their own motivation, be it a curiosity to learn more about Bollywood, or as a way to have fun and get great exercize. In this regard we can proudly say that we are embracing the "new and modern Bollywood". Bollywood Funk NYC also comprises of a professional dance company, for hire around the nation for a variety of projects, including film and video shoots, tours, awards and arena shows, and select festivals and events.
