BOLLYWOOD SONG LIST
These songs are choreographed and or adapted by Amira
 and are available for you to choose from for your special event:


Aaja Nachle from Aaja Nachle
Beedi Jalaile from Omkara
Bhangra!! the lively folk dance from Punjab (optional audience participation )
Billo Rani from Dhan Dhana Dhan Goal  (audience participation)  
Bumbro Bumbro (wedding song) from Mission Kashmir
Chaiyya Chaiyya from Dil Se
Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai  from Khal Nayak
Deewangi Deewangi from Om Shanti Om (audience participation)
Desi Girl from Dostana (audience participation)  
Ghagra from Kurukshetra 
Jai Ho from Slumdog Millionaire
Kahin Aage Lagi from Taal  with dramatic double veil ending 
Kajra Re  from Bunty aur Babli (audience participation)
Maahi Ve from Kal Ho Na Ho
Ringa Ringa/Choli Ke Peeche -Amira's special remix from Slumdog Millionaire  
Taal Se Taal Mila remix from Taal
Yaad Piya Ki Aane Lagi from Pyaar Koi Khel Nahin


Generally the songs work best when done in 1 or 2 sets of 3 songs each or 3 sets of 2 songs each. That way
the appropriate costume changes can be made (certain songs require head veils)
and the sets are not too long that the audience gets bored.  It also depends how you want to spread
out the show over the course of the evening.

5-10 minute medleys of several songs are also available which gives an exciting change
of pace for the audience. All remixing and music editing is done by Amira.

Available medleys:
Choli Ke Peeche/Beedi Jalaile/Desi Girl
Choli Ke Peeche/Beedi Jalaile/Kajra Re
Bumbro/MaahiVe/Billo Rani

Coming soon...."Ode to Madhuri" Ek Do Teen/Badi Mushikil/Aaja Nachle


Special request songs that are not on the song list
 are accepted but will require minimum 3 weeks notice and an additional charge for the new choreography.
Amira's choreographies are movie quality and take many hours to put together especially since Hindi is not Amira's
first language. :-) But you can be assured the final dance will be a stunning visual spectacle of Bollywood at its finest!


Here is a demo video that shows a small sampling of Amira's many performances.

For some performances I work with my dance partner Vanja. We can do a combination of solos
and duets including our most requested duet...Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai. I am also training and audtioning dancers for
group performances starting late summer 2010.
