Bollywood Axion

Cool in Your Code — Fri, 21 Mar 2008 20:49:52 +0000

There is nothing like the feeling of sitting in a dark theater and getting swept away in the emotion and drama on the big screen. Throw in a big, bright, frenetic dance number and you’ve got an experience you won’t soon forget. These sequences are the very unique calling card of Bollywood films. Pooja Narang wants everyone to enjoy this style of dance, which helps make the Indian film industry the largest in the world. She started Bollywood Axion in 2003 to teach Bollywood moves – as well as Bhangra, Garba, and Raas dances. These mixtures of traditional Indian dance – along with jazz, hip hop, salsa and ballet influences – get your whole body moving. For Pooja, choreographing and teaching is her calling. She says, “It’s the only way I can contribute and spread my love for the music and dance of the Indian Cinema.” The studio in 10018 offers classes for absolute beginners and experienced dancers, and features an in-house dance troupe called BAX Dance Company. Whether you’re in for a new, fun workout, want to look like an expert dancing at an Indian wedding, or want to feel like a movie star, Bollywood is calling.

Kids N’ Comedy

Cool in Your Code — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 13:46:56 +0000

Put on a happy face at Kids ‘N Comedy, a school for young, aspiring stand-up comics. Held at the Gotham Comedy Club, the organization’s monthly workshops and shows guide 8-16 year olds with writing, editing, and delivering their own quirky routines. The classes are taught by experienced comedians and teacher who provide the students with insight into how to express their unique world views. Talent scouts also take notice. Celebrities like Josh Peck of Nickelodeon’s “Drake and Josh” had their beginnings at Kids ‘N Comedy. “The classes are an evolution,” says President Jo Ann Grossman. “If the kid’s got [something] in them to develop, then they should do it.” Note to teachers: Next time you hear snickers in the back of the classroom, think about sending that clown to comedy school instead of detention!
