BOLLYWOOD
On Saturday, July 24 a Bollywood show entitled “Jalwa” (meaning ‘charisma’ in Hindi) was held at the Royal Theatre in Canberra by the ‘Bollywood Dimensions’ dance school.
Cootamundra’s Fiona Braybrooks and nearly 70 other people were involved in the performance, which included a fashion show which featured different styles of Indian clothing from bridal wear to casual wear.
The second half of the show featured different styles of Indian dance.
