| | Direct from Mumbai (Bombay), the first authentic Indian music and dance spectacular. Borrowing from classical Indian dance and Western free-form styles, Bollywood dancing emerged in India’s Hindi film industry during the 20th century. It is all about energy, vibrancy and, above all, telling a story.
Merchants of Bollywood tells the story of a family dynasty entrusted with the traditions of the Kathak dance, the dance of the gods.

Will the family be broken by this artistic feud or will art show them the way to reconciliation? All is revealed in the finale, a colorful, thrilling, high-energy fusion of folk, classical, modern, Western and Indian dance forms.
