NEW DELHI: Even as Japan and some Southeast Asian countries have taken to the dance styles of Indian cinema, the interest also appears to be spreading to Europe.
Choreographer Longinus Fernandes, popular for choreographing Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire, is conducting a dance seminar and workshop organised by Oriental Dream and Scribes Paris India Connection (INC) at the prestigious club located in the heart of Paris this month.
The workshop will start on 12 April at Club Montmartrois, 60 Rue Ordener in Paris, France.
The Seminar will be a combination of all the ingredients of music, dance, costumes, drama and emotions. Fernandes has made actors in Slumdog Millionaire dance to his tunes and also directed a sequence in Hollywood film Eat, Pray & Love.
Amelia of Oriental Dream said, "I am very happy to receive the Choreographer Longinus Fernandes from Bollywood. All passionate lovers of Indian dances and fans of Indian movies are very excited to meet him finally in real. This International Dance Seminar will be a big success in Europe."
Satish Reddy of Scribes INC said, "It was a pleasure to be associated with the workshop as we will be bringing more Indian artistes and Culture to Europe. I am happy that I am getting a chance to explore in Paris through this Seminar."
Many movies have been shot in Paris. Preity Zinta revived the trend after a long gap when she shot her last film Ishq in Paris. The Shammi Kapoor- Sharmila Tagore film An Evening in Paris was the first Hindi film to be filmed there.
