Mainstage: A body conscious Bollywood dance show
Dance Dhamaka, Williams’ Indian dance group, celebrates the magic of Bollywood on the Mainstage with an exciting new show: ‘Mainstage’. ‘Mainstage’ is a Bollywood style show about three women who discover themselves with the help of dance and each other. Think ‘Never Been Kissed’ meets ‘Centerstage’ meets ‘Fame’! Dance Dhamaka’s show this year promises to follow in the footsteps of past shows like ‘Bombay in My Soul,’ ‘Brokeback Bollywood,’ and ‘Legally Brown.’ It will surprise audiences with spectacular Bollywood and Bhangra choreography, vibrant costumes, and lots of drama.
Tickets are $3 and can be reserved by calling the ’62 Center box office at (413) 597 – 2425.
Bollywood is the name given to the Hindi movie industry, typically characterized by sensational storylines, fantastic song-and-dance sequences, and melodramatic acting! Dance Dhamaka is Williams College’s Indian Dance troupe and is over 20 people strong. Over the last four years the group has performed in the opening ceremonies of the ’62 Center for Theater and Dance, Eid and Diwali celebrations, fundraisers for Tsunami and Hurricane Relief, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. day festivities.
