It has been and still a song and dance sequence with larger than life expression through various different moves, grandeur sets,  picturesque locations and large ensemble. BollyJazz  - This fusion dance class brings you the best of the expressive beauty  and contagious energy of Bollywood's most stylized dances and mashes  them up with the influences of hip hop, Latin, jazz, funk and street  styles.
