Welcome to the online home of Bollywood Steps Birmingham, a major outdoor dance spectacular taking place in Victoria Square, Birmingham on Friday 9 October and Saturday 10 October.
The three free shows are part of 175th anniversary celebrations of Town Hall Birmingham, a Grade I listed concert hall in the heart of the city, and are set to capture the imagination of over ten thousand people!
Introduced by DJ and broadcaster Bobby Friction, the performances will feature dazzling dance numbers, stunning architectural lighting, fireworks, colourful costumes, water effects and a cast of hundreds of local school children, youth dancers and dhol drummers.
We’re inviting you, your friends, family and colleagues to be part of each of the three shows, by learning a sequence of dances in advance of a magnificent wedding scene during the show were the entire audience can join in!
Twinkle-toed members of the public and Town Hall staff joined Olympic athlete Denise Lewis and Bollywood Steps choreographer Simmy Gupta at the launch in Birmingham last week to learn the moves. See their hilarious (and shocking) attempts.
Enter a great competition by uploading your own efforts to be in with a chance of winning a fantastic prize AND see your video clip screened live during the performances.
