Bollywood

Bollywood dancing is a commercial name for modern Indian dancing. It's a combination of classical Indian dance (which is the base), folk dancing such as Bhangra and sometimes has a Latino and Arabic influence. It's fun and very expressive and there's a lot of deep meaning behind music in the films. You can actually express what the music means, through the graceful movements of the body.

Zumba is the trademark name of a wildly popular form of aerobic exercise that is hailed as not only fun and energizing, but highly effective for burning calories. Zumba involves dance moves set to a Latin rhythm in classes that last one hour and are typically taught in a party atmosphere. Classes are fun, energizing and easy to follow, regardless of fitness level.
