Aaja Nachle Indian Classical Fusion
Aaja Nachle NZ School of Bollywood Dance
This piece combines Bharata Natyam, Bellydance and Bollywood dance to form a Indian fusion dance piece. The first song – ‘Taal’ combines Bollywood and Bharata Natyam to produce a semi classical dance – this is commonly used in older generation film songs. The second song- ‘Jiya Jale’ combines Bellydance and Bollywood to produce ‘Bellywood’ – there are also some Bharata Natyam steps in this dance. This fusion form is a relatively new concept in New Zealand but gaining huge interest in India.
Choreographers/Cast: Alka Suresh and Priyal Bhoola

GLAS.de – a mirrored reflection inward; a window with a view outward; smooth calm; jaggard hectic; thin fragile; thick strong… We take inspiration from the composer’s surname, the pulse of his music and the myriad of opposites that come to mind when we think of glass, all with a German twist in an ode to the choreographer’s  past.
