Strut Your Stuff--Online Bollywood Dance Competition!

I know it's been a little longer than usual since I've posted but school started last week and I've been bogged down with homework :(. Still, I'm super excited because I get to start my in-house nursing clinicals this semester!Yay!! Stick with me, though...I'll still try my very hardest to get at least one post up per week--I'm currently working on a review for "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam" and should have it up in the next couple of days. :)

In the meantime, here's something really fun I thought you guys would want to know about: Vin from Saavn gave me the scoop on a Bollywood Online Dance Competition their website put together, sponsored by Verizon. Get this--Anyone can upload either a new or existing video of themselves dancing to any Bollywood song. The voting committee will review all submissions and choose a winner mid-October. That winner will get an opportunity to dance in a major Bollywood film releasing in late '09 or early 2010!!! Saavn will announce the name of the movie in the next few weeks...

You can check out contest details at here and watch the YouTube announcement here. You can also watch the Verizon promo here.

Unfortunately, I have two left feet and probably won't be sharing any of my dance attempts with anyone! But I'm really excited for any of you who actually can dance (Please teach me!) and wish you the best of luck! Keep me posted on your entries and let me know which songs you chose!

Just for fun, if I could actually dance, here's some of the songs I'd consider submitting:

1)"Dhoom Tana" from Om Shanti Om

2)Any of the songs from Jhoom Barabar Jhoom , especially "Kiss of Love".

3)"Salaam-E-Ishq" and "Saiyan Re" from Salaam-E-Ishq

4)"Do You Want A Partner" from Partner

Happy BollyDancing!
