We’re extremely grateful to be able to host a Bollywood Workshop at CSULB🤩🦈 This dynamic Eastern and Western form was a new and maybe uncomfortable experience for most students, but it ended with the joy of rhythmic storytelling and the cultural fusion of music and dance.

Photos 1-3 from “Inyo (陰陽)” choreographed by Laney Patton & Kacey Ura— “Inyo (陰陽)” explores the Japanese principle of duality— opposing forces aren’t contradictions, but essential components of balance.
