Western Dance

Western dance always involves footwear. It has more flexible movements, leaps and lifts, and a lot of contact choreography. The dance is less gravitational and the landings are soft-footed. Western dance has become synonymous with entertainment, either in the social or theatrical arena and is designed to show the causes of man’s inner conflicts in relation to the world, but mainly as they reflect his being, therefore these dances are descriptive because they are dramatic. Innovations in the field of modern dance which are based on ethnic inspiration are genuine assets to the world of creative dance, thereby enriching Western arts with Classical influence, rather than forcing Westernization on the noble traditions of the Classical dances. The filmi music and dances in Bollywood films are a synthesis of formal and folk Indian traditional music and dance traditions, infusion with Middle Eastern techniques. The dances in older Hindi movies represented supposed dances of the common people, although they involved original choreography. Bollywood dances have evolved as a unique and energetic style. Since they are group dances, they are often used as joyful exercise music. The style of dance has also highly influenced international artists and appears in the song.
