Mystic India: A Bollywood Dance Spectacular!

This internationally-acclaimed Bollywood dance spectacular tells the story of ancient India’s transition into modern India, through a series of dance performances. The extravagant showcase features a mix of traditional dance, as well as modern song-dance “Bollywood” routines - a term derived from the blending of the names of two cities: Bombay (now Mumbai), and Hollywood, the center of the American film industry. The dances represent the experiences of Indian-Americans who have found a delicate balance in fusing Indian classical and folk dance with Western disciplines. Having received international acclaim worldwide, Mystic India is an explosion of colors and energy and a stunning visual display that fuses dance, theater, and spectacular special effects. This production has sold out venues throughout four continents, and has been seen by over 300,000 audience members in the past year alone. Created by Director Amit Shah and featuring the AATMA Performing Arts dance company, Mystic India: The World Tour is an internationally-acclaimed Bollywood dance spectacular based on the concept of ancient India’s transition into modern India. The colorful costumes and elaborate sets have been custom designed by Amit Shah and handmade in India’s film capital by a team of 40 designers and workers over the course of four years. The team of diverse, impeccably trained dancers from the AATMA Performing Arts dance company combines authentic Indian and modern techniques bringing the streets Mumbai and New York into perfect harmony. Over HALF A MILLION people have seen Mystic India: The World Tour since its conception in 2011 through its successful tours in South Africa, Switzerland, Canada, Bahrain, China and various cities in the United States. The company has opened for Carrie Underwood in Las Vegas and performed at top venues including major casinos, amusement parks and performing arts centers. It is the first internationally-touring Indian dance production headed by the USA- based dance company, and the first touring Indian production that carries such a diverse cast of artists. City and Shore Magazine voted it “The Must-See Show of the Season.” Audiences of Mystic India: The World Tour can expect an explosion of colors and energy as they travel on a celebratory journey through Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Punjab and Gujarat, and even through the progression of Bollywood films via a stunning visual display that fuses dance, theater and spectacular special effects.
