Samantha Riggs of Boom Boom Bollywood Sat. Jan. 19th 2008
Samantha Riggs is the Founder, Artistic Director, Choreographer and Lead Dancer for both Boom Boom Bollywood and The Sexy Scallywags Pirate Circus in Tempe, Arizona, and is a performer with Fyrae fire arts troupe. She was the assistant director as well as a core dancer, teacher, musician and choreographer for Domba Tribal Fusion Dance Troupe (winners of the 2006 Zaghareet “Best Troupe” award) from 1996 until their dissolution in October of 2006. Samantha has traveled the world teaching Bollywood Style Dance, Tribal Style Belly dance, Tribal Fusion, Fire Arts and Pirate Belly dance. Her serious obsession with Bollywood movies has, over the years, infected others... leading to her higher goal of connection and understanding between the Western and the Indo-American communities. Samantha has a long history on stage with many other forms of theatre arts including fire performance, stage combat, acting, stand-up comedy and comedy improv, singing, drumming and folk dancing.
This will be a Bollywood intensive for the day offering 2- two hour classes. There will be no evening show. Space is limited to The Once in a Blue Moon Studio unless we get overwhelming response.
Registration Starts at 9:00 a.m. Saturday Jan. 19th, 2008 at Once in a Blue Moon 1603 West 39th st
10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Bollywood Form & Attitude: Mitwa
This class will cover the dynamic and exuberant choreography of the song "Mitwa" from the film Lagaan. Samantha will also be incorporating her signature Bollywood tribal style combos – made popular by Boom Boom Bollywood – which can be adapted for use in any choreography or tribal dance form. It is suitable for men and women of all dance levels. Women should be sure and wear a support or sports bra. If you wear a skirt, be sure to wear something under it as we will be jumping and spinning!
1:00 p.m.-3:00 p.m.
Bollywood Anima
The definition of “Anima” – The feminine inner personality
Bollywood “Anima” will teach some of the most graceful and feminine moves from Hindi cinema. This class will focus on the intricate lyrical expression and group formations as depicted in "Silsila Ye Chahaat Ka," from the movie Devdas (one of Bollywood's most popular and enduring dance numbers), and the Rajasthani-styled coyness of “Minnat Kare” and “Kangna Re” from the newly released movie Paheli. Samantha will teach parts of these dances as choreography and also demonstrate how to use elements of the dances as modular combinations. This class is suitable for women, men who wish to learn a feminine style, young people at least 12 years of age – beginners, intermediate or advanced students in the Bollywood Style. Women should be sure and wear a sports or support bra. If students wish to wear a skirt, pants or shorts are recommended underneath it – there will be some spinning and floor work. Bring knee and/or foot pads if you need them for floor work.
