During this evening's opening reception of NEW YORK INDIA POP ART at the Gershwin Hotel, there was a performance by dancers from the SONALEE'S BOLLYWOOD DANCE STUDIO. I made these images of the highlights of the performance, which was not quite like the dance from the "Slumdog" film, but a slam dunk of gorgeous and energetic dancing nonetheless. Bollywood dancing is a commercial term for modern Indian dancing consisting of various forms, a fusion of classical Indian, folk, Arabic, expressionist, Latino and street styles.
