Indian Dance with Dishama (Wendy Stegall)

Hi, I'm experimenting with using an Indian stage name. I wonder if it's a useful idea and an improvement over my "Wendy."  I come to bollywood dance from Kathak: North Indian Classical dance.  I started bollywood almost two years ago and find it such a lovely way to bring Indian dance flavors to people who love Indian dance but who would never study it as a discipline but wish to enjoy exercise with the depth, charm, fun and beauty of the movements.  And bollywood dance fulfills my creative need to express a variety of dance languages thru the framework given me by Kathak.  It's an endless, evolving genre and so popular today it has changed my life.  Not many students come to Kathak, but now, with Bollywood dance there is more potential to share dance art with the world.  So this is my first blog here and I'll sign off cuz I still have a "day job!"bollywoodiowa.com
