Dance Breakdown #4 - Cardio Bollywood with Amna

YNS would like to thank everyone who participated in this week's poll...your votes mean a lot to us and give our teachers so much joy knowing that you love their classes! We even had a tie for this week's breakdown: Urban Hip Hop with Michelle and Cardio Bollywood with Amna. Unfortunately, we only have time to share 1 breakdown this week - Bollywood!!

Amna Mazin has been dancing for over 13 years and has experience leading, choreographing and performing in Bollywood - she is currently a part of the NDM Dance Troupe and she has performed with Bollywood celebrities such as Bipasha Basu, Pooja Bhatra and Boman Irani.

This week's combination is a high-energy, hard-hitting routine that will make you both smile and sweat!

ENJOY!


Amna teaches Bollywood every Monday evening from 7pm-8pm at YNS. Bollywood fuses traditional, folk and classical Indian dance with western influences such as jazz, hip hop and modern.  No previous knowledge of dance or music is required!

DANCE BREAKDOWN #3 - Burlesque with Brooklin

Thank you to everyone who voted for this week's DANCE BREAKDOWN.  This week's winner is Burlesque with Brooklin.

Get ready for a super yummy routine to the tune, "Welcome to Burlesque," a song from the movie "Burlesque," starring Cher and Christina Aguilera.  Brooklin's choreography is sexy and feminine...her class allows women to celebrate being sensual and vibrant in safe, all-female environment.  Her style remixes traditional burlesque, Fosse, jazz, pin-up, pop and funk.  

We highly recommend you slip into something more comfortable and turn your lights down low : )

ENJOY!






Brooklin teaches Burlesque every Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 9pm-10pm and every Sunday from 1pm-2pm at YNS. Get a great workout in while receiving the benefits of releasing your inhibitions and liberating your sexuality!
