UK’s biggest Bollywood flashmob, inspired by dance show Nach Baliye on Star Plus

Londoners were treated to a surprise performance last week on Wednesday 17th June 2015 as more than 50 dancers descended across the capital to take part in the UK’s biggest Bollywood ‘flash mob’ it’s seen. Starting with just six dancers, the ‘flash mob’ group quickly grew, with the performers emerging from all corners of the crowd dancing to catchy Bollywood tunes, as bystanders looked both delighted and bemused.

Calling themselves BollyMobUK, the dancers, mainly students from the Shiamak Davar’s London Dance Academy, stated they were inspired when watching the popular Indian dance show ‘Nach Baliye’ on Star Plus (literal translations “Dance with me my beloved”).

Gurjeev Singh Kapoor, President Star International said: “We are extremely pleased that one of our ongoing dance shows Nach Baliye on Star Plus has inspired a group of dancers to take the joy of dancing to the streets of London. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our loyal viewers for watching Star Plus.”

Driven by the art and love of Bollywood dance, the lively bunch of dancers danced across the capital: Tower Hill, Liverpool Street, Southbank, Wembley Central and Hounslow Central to name a few– spreading some Bollywood magic with the aim to delight Londoners and spread joy all around.

Shruti Shah, Senior Instructor and Manager at Shiamak Davar International (UK) said: “All of my students are big fans of the dance show Nach Baliye and have always talked about the choreography or a dance they’ve loved on the show. Bollywood as a dance form has grown a lot over the years because of shows like Nach Baliye. We are grateful to have got the opportunity to take Bollywood to the streets of London with a flash mob – BollyMobUK.”
