pelvic thrust, pelvic thrust, shoulder shimmy, shoulder shimmy (life)

Since I've been in India, each night, as I'm getting ready to sleep, I like to watch a little Bollywood. There have always been a few different movies to choose from and I've learned quite a bit.

My travel partner has the patience to sit through a whole movie, interrupted every 10 minutes to show the same 5 commercials, just so she can find out if the father lets the pretty girl run away with the poor boy who has done something amazing to save her life. He always does.

I, on the other hand, have found that I enjoy the less plot/more dance options. If there are modern Bollywood movies on, I have to flip back and forth between several movies to keep the dance factor high. But, if there are classics, from the 1970s, I am a happy camper. The movies from this time have really great costumes, very big hair, and lots and lots of dance sequences (a highlight was a call and response pelvic thrust between the pretty girl and the bad-ass guy). I find the grainy film a charming element to the whole experience.

Although this is not my favorite type, it captures the spirit.
