There was a buzz of excitement in the grand ball room lobby of the Burlington Marriot as more than 45 participants excitedly waited for the workshop to start. Terence and the participants had a blast and they extended the session by nearly an hour going up to 6 pm starting just after 11 am. There was lot of energy during the workshop and everyone left happy and satisfied learning lots of new bollywood moves.  Terence showed strong balancing skills with a wide age mix of participants ranging from 8 years old to 40 year olds and forming groups in a way that no one was left behind during the day. Workshop began with basic dance exercises and mudras before moving into core dance moves. Terence provided lots of educational tidbits during the day to complement physical moves – for example he explained the differences between contemporary and classical styles of dancing and modern day relevance to Bollywood choreography. The workshop provided participants with exposure to a top flight choreographer on how to channelize energy, passion and focus and most of them found the experience very inspirational.
