Jaya opens her program demonstrating the Namascar tradition - explaining this ancient Indian rituaI of expressing gratitude for the gifts that have been given to you, and dedicating one s dance to the eternaI and the divine powers of the universe. In the section on Haasta Mudras, the hand gestures originating in the 8 styles of classicaI Indian dance, Jaya introduces the unique motions of the hand most commonIy seen in BoIlywood dance. Haasta Mudras originate in sacred forms of tempIe dance, so it is important to distinguish between the gestures that carry devotional meanings and the safe-to-use movements that are appropriate for secuIar performances.
The BolIywood Basic Steps section introduces typical Bollywood dance steps and techniques. ln the BolIywood Keywords section Jaya teaches steps, combinations, and gestures tied to particular keywords heard in BoIIywood songs, such as eyes, bindi, bIessing, beloved, heart, crazy, magic, flower, and many others.
