Bollywood recreates everything magical about India by celebrating the mixing of traditions into cohesive wholes. There is no compartmentalization of performance pieces, whether music, dance, theatre, or film.

Bollywood is India under bright lights!

The 2008 Seafair Ball: Bollywood will be a masala of things. Join us for an evening of art, rhythms, and dance!
