This Friday, September 28, the Music Center will host a free Bhangra dance night with DJ Sandeep Kumar and lessons by Achinta of the Blue13 Dance company. How fun! What is Bhangra? It’s a folk dance and music form from Punjab that has been fused with hip hop moves and featured in many Bollywood movies.
Bhangra dance is also a great adult P.E. activity, so this will be adult P.E. idea #3! You can take classes with the Blue School. Or get the Bollywood Workout DVD. I’ve had lots of fun with my DVD but know it’s nowhere near what Aishwarya or Bipasha do in the movies. Well, you gotta start somewhere!

P.S. I was just told a secret place for free parking downtown near the Music Center. If you want to know, leave a comment and I will get back to you. It’s super secret….
*** UDPATE *** We went to this and it was great fun! We learned moves called "alligator, Indian airlines, turn the door knob, pat the dough….." So much fun! I definitely would take a class with the Blue School if I were in the ‘hood. The great thing about Bhangra – you can totally be doing it wrong but you won’t look that off. It’s an aerobics workout without the annoying counting of reps thing. Just dance and have fun. When the instructor Achinta separated us into two groups who faced each other, it was like a dance-off, showdown, Michael Jackson style. My first time doing that, and I would love to do it again.
