Posted by Vicki on Wednesday, December 15, 2010 In : Yo, Check This! 

I was extremely proud to represent Bollywood Funk NYC and chat with public middle school students last night from Brooklyn about careers in dance and the performing arts at Citizen Schools New York's December 'WOW!' event, entitled "6 Degrees of Separation".

Posted by Vicki on Tuesday, December 14, 2010 In : Film Reviews 

Maf kar do, I have been M.I.A. due to back-to-back performances with Bollywood Funk NYC in Sept. and Oct, followed by Turkey Day,and life in general. I've managed to see a few films here and there, including 'Break Ke Baad' (just like 'Love Aaj Kal', but still enjoyable), but what I was FLOORED by was this amazing Tamil film recommended called 'Kannathil Muthamittal' ('Peck on the Cheek'). Check out this BEAUTIFUL clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gq1GFz37WgY

Blogmaster: Vicki I created this blog because 1) I love to write and 2) I love to talk about Bollywood. I 'stumbled' upon Bollywood over 6 years ago, and my life has never been the same since. I am currently an instructor and dance company member at Bollywood Funk NYC, I have seen a lot of Hindi films, been in a few of them, aur mujhe thoda thoda Hindi aata hai. Main Amrikkan hoon lekin mera dil Hindustani hai.

Vicki on Video! Check out some of my performances with Bollywood Funk NYC Dance Company and hear me speak about the school and our classes below!
