Enter a new way to stay in shape: Bollywood dance. Gyms and dance studios across Mumbai are now offering Bollywood inspired fitness classes as a fun way to lose pounds and beat gym fatigue.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://globespotters.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/02/staying-fit-the-bollywood-way/?em">I arrived at <A href="http://www.goldsgymindia.com/">Gold’s Gym</A> (J. Mehta Marg, Napean Sea Road; 91-22-2369-4654) expecting to be intimidated by sequin clad teenyboppers, but my class is reassuringly normal, mostly 30-somethings in track pants and loose T-shirts. As Bollywood hits boom out, my classmates swivel their hips and rotate their shoulders with enviable ease.  I am reminded of the scene in the Gurinder Chadha film <A href="http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/306118/Bride-and-Prejudice/overview">“Bride and Prejudice,”</A> where a nervous modern-day Darcy attempts to dance Bollywood style at a wedding.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/DF7EC213-49AF-4CEB-B5EE-D26A424F8EF3/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
