Salaam Namaste!

NIKE ROCKSTAR WORKOUT (NRSW) BOLLYWOOD launched! Had an awesome time last night launching the programme with Juwita and Leo! The two ladies are amazing! Couldn't have survived without them! :)

NRSW Bollywood choreo is mainly Hip-hop/funk/R&B infused with authentic female indian dance moves.The workout is intensive when done properly, couple that with the catchy music... absolutely fantastic!

Had to move out from the comfort zone when I first went for training. Training for trainers was intensive and prepared us well to teach the classes. Had to drill loads to get it right (still working on it to get it perfect!), dancing is not my forte, it's something I need to practise hard on. I'm more comfortable with the instruction bit :)

Getting the indian flavour right requires some understanding of the whole Bollywood culture. Didn't have time to research much so ASTRO it was... Bollywood films! and some basic reading on indian classical dance helped a little. Stable core, strong legs, versatile arm lines (sharp and gentle depending on the choreo) and a lot of facial expression. Add those on top of the quintessential choreo of the programme.... hard work! but well worth it when you see the joy of the members. The energy one gets when members smile! shout! scream! holler in class is indescribable! For a moment everyone is connected and that's amazing!

Looking forward to the next 5 weeks of more NRSW Bollywood fun! (the programme will last for 6 weeks only!)
