BOLLYWOOD STYLE FITNESS CLASSES ATTRACTING CROWDS

U.S Exercise Industry is Taking Notice

Chandler, Arizona (MMD Newswire) February 25, 2009 -- RESULTS Health and Fitness Center is the first gym the Phoenix area to offer classes in the exhilarating and beautiful Bollywood dance styles of India. Incorporating both traditional Indian styles as well as western influences, you'll find that Bollywood dance is fun and energetic, as well as an excellent aerobic exercise. People of all ages, shapes, sizes, and fitness levels are welcome-come prepared to have fun, shake your shoulders and swing your hips to this contagious fusion style of dance!

Long enjoyed by young people of Indian descent, and common in large cities such as New York and San Francisco, Bollywood classes are popping up in areas of the country where Indian cinema is new.

Chandler's Results Health and Fitness added the new Bollywood Fitness classes after watching the large dance numbers at the end of Bollywood-style movies such as "Slumdog Millionaire." "Tammi Jacobs," owner of Results Fitness, "is always doing something new." expressed Heidi, a 38 year old CPA who tried the class and fell in love with the upbeat music and dynamic choreography.

"I love the music. I enjoy the movies and now I am intrigued with the culture," Heidi says before warming up for a 45 minute session.

"Many people are drawn to Bollywood Dance for the aerobic movement and the Bollywood songs and Indian chart toppers. Fitness is often the goal for our Bollywood Dance students." explained Jacobs. "Bollywood is so easy - everyone can do it. I just break down each step to allow the students to understand the core. The simplicity flows and they can feel the natural movement."

The American Council on Exercise says ethnic dancing, such as salsa, meringue, and belly dancing and now Bollywood is a major growth area for gyms and dance studios. The classes are attracting people who do not typically exercise or are bored with the treadmill. Bollywood gives people another option.

Students shake their shoulders, dip one hip, twist their wrists, cross one leg over the other and then unwind. After that song is complete, instructor Tammi Jacobs reminds students to take a deep breath, because the fun has just begun. Bollywood Dance and Fitness is an energetic dance style that appears more in alignment with a festive party than a hardcore calorie burning workout.

You can try a Bollywood Dance Fitness class on Tues or Thurs. evening at 6:30 pm or Sat. at 10:00 am.

Results Fitness is located at 805 S. Bogle Ave., Suite 1 in Chandler, Arizona 85225
