Wind up the energy
A lively warm-up that loosens the shoulders, wrists and hips and gets the grin going before we touch a single step.
Hands and expression
Learn a handful of the signature hand gestures and the open, outward face and posture that give Bollywood its unmistakable spirit.
Steps and bhangra bounce
Add the bouncy footwork and shoulder work, including a taste of bhangra, building the moves slowly and clearly one at a time.
Build the routine
Thread the gestures and steps together into a short chorus of choreography to a well-known track, layered up piece by piece.
Perform it full-out
Run the whole routine at full energy with the music up, so you finish the hour buzzing and knowing a real dance.
About Bollywood Classes in Gloucester
Bollywood dance is the exuberant screen style of Hindi cinema — a generous blend of classical Indian hand gestures, folk steps like bhangra, and modern pop choreography, all delivered with a beaming, outward energy. It is pure joy to learn: the moves are big and expressive rather than fussy, the music is impossible to stand still to, and a single catchy routine gives beginners a real sense of achievement fast.
Gloucester's diverse, close-knit communities make it a natural home for a class like this, and there is a strong thread of dance culture running through the city — youth organisations such as Your Next Move have grown up teaching movement and street arts to the next generation, proof that Gloucester takes dance seriously as a living craft. We admire that scene from a respectful distance; we run our own separate beginner class and pass on no one else's contact details.
We teach in the city centre by the Eastgate and Westgate streets and in a room over by the Docks and Gloucester Quays, so wherever you are travelling from across the city and county, there is a floor near enough. Come as you are, ready to smile — that is genuinely the main requirement.

Bollywood in Gloucester FAQ
Everything you need to know before your first class.
Do I need any experience or Indian dance background? +
None at all. The class welcomes complete beginners of every background, teaching the gestures and steps from scratch. A love of the music and a willingness to smile is all you need to bring.
Is Bollywood a good workout? +
Yes — the bouncy footwork and big full-body moves give a genuine cardio session that is so much fun you forget it counts as exercise. Expect to be warm and grinning by the end.
How much does a class cost? +
A flat £8 per session, paid on the night. There is no membership, no term block and no commitment — you simply pay for the classes you choose to attend.
What should I wear? +
Comfortable clothes you can move and bounce in, and trainers or clean flat shoes with a bit of grip. Bring water, because the energy in the room warms you up quickly.
Where in Gloucester do you run the class? +
In a central studio by the Eastgate and Westgate streets, plus a second room over by the historic Docks and Gloucester Quays. The exact venue is confirmed when you book.
How do I get there and park? +
The bus station is central among the shops and the railway station is a short walk east of the centre. For an evening by the Quays, the Quays car park is closest — check its closing time before a late finish. Gloucester has buses, not a tram.
Can I come on my own? +
Definitely. Bollywood is a group dance, not a partner one, so there is no need for anyone to bring a partner — you dance as part of the whole joyful room whether you arrive solo or with friends.
Can you teach a routine for a wedding or celebration? +
Yes — Bollywood is a brilliant fit for a wedding sangeet, a birthday or any celebration, and we can build a group routine as a one-off. Ask us on the enquiry form and we will talk it through.
How do I book my first class? +
Fill in the enquiry form on this page with your name and a contact detail, and we will reply within one working day with the next beginner date, the venue and directions.
