About Bollywood

 

Bollywood is a lively form of music and dance that originated in the Punjab region in Southeast Asia and incorporates various music styles, including Bhangara. Many Bhangra lyrics reflect the long and often tumultuous history of the Punjab.  The dance includes moves from various styles, including classic Indian Dance, Bhangra, Arabic, as well as Latin dance. In recent years, the dance has acquired the pseudonym "Indian Bollywood," possibly in a nod to the proliferation of Indian movies in Western countries!
