“Ramona and her team were excellent in providing Year 6 students with an interesting and educational cultural experience. They were able to reinforce what our students have been learning in HSIE in a fun way. The students particularly enjoyed the dancing and being able to take part in their own Bollywood dance item. We hope we can have you back next year.”

Each class runs for 1.5 hours and starts on time, so please come early so you don't miss a beat. You'll warm-up with some popular Bollywood dance steps and work up to a routine that you can showcase to your friends and family during the last class of your course. To ensure everyone enjoys themselves, each class will cover some of the basics of Bollywood dance, offering you a feel for the style – even if it's your first time.
It's important you feel comfortable so please wear clothing that allows for movement. Normal workout clothes are fine, but please feel free to style yourself with Bollywood bling to get in the mood. Bollywood is best performed with bare feet, but you can choose to wear sneakers if you prefer. It's a good idea to bring water so you can stay hydrated while you work up a sweat.
Our Bollywood and Beyond workshop is designed for children ages 5-18 years old and starts with a lively performance from Sirens Dance. This is followed by a 45 minute interactive presentation about the geography, culture and traditions of several different regions in India, with demonstrations and pop quizzes to keep the kids engaged. The program concludes with a 45 minute Bollywood dance workshop to get the kids active and build their confidence, while having lots of fun.
We also offer Bollywood Discovery – a pre-school program designed to stimulate children's developing senses by introducing them to some of the vibrant colours, textures, musical sounds and spice scents from various Indian cultures. Sirens Dance do a short performance to entertain the children and then show them some simple Bollywood dance moves. The children love seeing the beautiful Bollywood costumes and getting to dress up in bindis and bangles themselves.
“My school has been working with Sirens Dance for many years. Sirens takes students on a journey through India where they learn about the many different states, religions, languages food and traditional dress. Their sessions are highly interactive and engaging. The highlight is always the Bollywood Dance lesson. The students love it and the program fits perfectly within the Geography Syllabus ‘Diverse Asia’. I highly recommend this company for any school group.”
