Jaya opens her program demonstrating the Namascar tradition - expIaining this ancient lndian 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 BolIywood dance. Haasta Mudras originate in sacred forms of temple dance, so it is important to distinguish between the gestures that carry devotionaI meanings and the safe-to-use movements that are appropriate for secular performances.
The BolIywood Basic Steps section introduces typical BoIlywood dance steps and techniques. ln the BoIlywood Keywords section Jaya teaches steps, combinations, and gestures tied to particuIar keywords heard in BolIywood songs, such as eyes, bindi, bIessing, beloved, heart, crazy, magic, fIower, and many others.
