Dancing in L.A. is NHM's vibrant new series celebrating culture and choreography. Captivating performances bring the Commons Theater to life with music, movement, and community spirit. Each day spotlights local dance groups in dynamic 30-minute programs—presented twice daily—showcasing the rich intersections of art, culture, and nature.

On May 31, BollyPop presents a 30-minute live performance featuring various dances from India.

About the Dance Group: 

BollyPop celebrates the vibrant culture of the Indian subcontinent through movement and music. Founded and led by Aakansha Maheshwari, BollyPop has performed at festivals, schools, NBA games, and community events worldwide. They have also worked on films such as Disney’s Freakier Friday and have appeared in commercials for Google.

For the Natural History Museum performance, BollyPop will present pieces from different regions of India, blending classical, folk, and Bollywood‑inspired choreography to showcase the cultural richness and diversity of the subcontinent. With classes and performances in Los Angeles and Utah, BollyPop has built a welcoming, multigenerational community where dancers of all ages can express themselves, connect with each other, and celebrate the joy of movement. 

What to Expect:
