3 Fitness Trends That Are in Rage
by Ismat Tahseen

You may be bored with the gym, but don't throw your fitness routine off gear just yet. Try something new. Here are three fitness trends that are becoming a rage the world over. Choose the one that best suits your body and health. And consult a doctor and a fitness expert before trying any of them. 

Muay Thai
A combat sport from the martial arts of Thailand, Muay Thai is also called the Art of Eight Limbs. Says Amit Lalwani, who has brought this martial arts form to Mumbai, "Muay Thai was a battlefield sport, in Thailand. They have huge stadiums built to conduct Muay Thai matches. It's done using the elbows and knees to strike out." Why is it called Art of Eight Limbs? "You use two fists, two shins, elbows and knees and throw a combination of punches and kicks. When we start a class, you do it solo, then, as you progress, you learn to practise with partners."
Benefit: Besides being a fitness technique, it's a great stress buster because you're hitting out. Says Lalwani, "Muay Thai is a great self-defence technique too, where your body becomes the weapon. It requires a great level of concentration. You can shed around 600 calories, build reflexes and become flexible - all in a 45-minute workout on a daily basis. Plus, with time, your body gets conditioned to take hits, and strengthens in the process."

Slacklining
If you are out early at a park in Pune or Bengaluru, you'll catch a group of fitness buffs trying this new fad - walking a tightrope! Called 'slacklining', this involves a person balancing himself/herself on a nylon or polyester webbing tensioned between two anchor points. The aim is to attain balance and build the core. And judging by the number of people signing up, it's getting quite popular.
Benefit: Says instructor Aalok Bharadwaj, "Walking on a slackline builds concentration and balance, and tests your willpower. You have to keep at it until you learn to stay on the slackline. There are no props, you have to use your own body weight to balance, which tones and builds the small muscles too." There are also other versions such as tricklining (performing jumps and stunts on the slackline), waterlining (walking on webbing stretched across a body of water), highlining (walking a slackline assembled at a great height) and yogalining (performing yoga on the slackline).
Is it safe? Totally. The rope is at least one inch wide, and just two feet off the ground. Plus, there are crash pads on the ground so that you don't get hurt if you fall.

Sh'bam
Shimmy your way to a smaller waistline with this fun, sociable form of fitness. For those who love dance, Sh'bam is perfect. Already becoming a huge hit abroad, this is a 45-minute dance-based workout will have you grooving to simple dance steps set to catchy Latin and hip-hop soundtracks. Apart from enjoying the stressbusting dance, you can bust over 600 calories in a single class. You do not need to be a good dancer as there are no rules, you just follow the trainer and stay with the class. Who knows? In a few sessions, you may discover the star in you.
Benefit: Mumbai-based dance expert Ritambhara Sahni vouches for it as a boredom buster. "Sh'bam has dance moves that are blended with aerobics workout. It's very effective because when your body moves to the beats of the music, you start to enjoy it. That's what kills the monotony of a normal gym workout session. It increases a person's stamina and cardiovascular fitness, and burns calories. At high intensity, you can burn up to 800 calories per hour," she says.

Read a student Review / Testimonial on Ritambhara sahni and Belly Dance Institute Mumbai.

I have known Ritambhara Sahni for more than 15 years . Joint her as a student for bollywood Hip - Hop at her Ritambhara Sahni's institute in 2001. I was also always very keen to learn belly dancing. It was a dream for me to learn this beautiful dance form and i was so excited when Ritambhara told me at that time that she was getting trained in belly dancing. I was really waiting for her to start and was really excited to attend her 1st belly dance workshop and the first ever belly dance workshop in Mumbai in the year 2003. Watching Ritambhara Belly dance made me go crazy. I just wanted to belly dance like her. Ritambhara Sahni belly dance institute Mumbai was established since 2005 and i have been a part of it since then. Belly dance institute Mumbai is like my 2nd home. I also always dreamed of wearing the belly dancing belts and i am so happy to own so many belly dance belts as of today. I totally believe that for me it is important to belly dance with a belly dance belt. I worship my belly dancing belt just like i worship my tap shoes . Did Tap dancing with Ritambhara Sahni and that was an awesome feel. Cant wait for her to start tap dancing once again. For me Ritambhara Sahni is best dance teacher i could haveever had and belly dance institute Mumbai is the best belly dance class in Mumbai. If you are looking to join belly dance classes in Mumbai , there is no other place like Belly Dance Institute Mumbai. - Jigna Davda

Ritambhara Sahni Belly Dance Institute Mumbai - belly dancing belts, costumes and props

Ritambhara Sahni of Belly Dance Institute Mumbai 
her inputs on 2 kinds of Belly Dancing Belts.

Me- Ritambhara Sahni have been teaching western dance in the city of Mumbai over 2 decades now. I started way back in the year 1992 with private lessons at my residence and established Ritambhara Sahni's Institute For the Performing Arts in the year 1996. I love dance and most free style dance forms. I was the 1st female to start a western dance school in Mumbai and i really cherish that. Somewhere down the line learning and teaching dance forms like Hip - Hop, old school and new style, Jazz, Contemporary, Bollywood , Tap and Flamenco, i fell in love with Belly Dance in an unique way and soon started to have belly dance workshops in Mumbai from the year 2002-2003. I then established Belly Dance Institute Mumbai in 2005 and was the 1st ever female to start my belly dance class in Mumbai. There were really no belly dance classes in Mumbai at that time and Mumbai welcomed belly dance with my belly dance class. Its a time to treasure. Today a lot of my own students have started their own belly dance classes in Mumbai following my footsteps and guidance and this all makes me so proud.

So today i am going to give information on 2 kinds of belly dance belts in terms of how they are and what can they be used for  in belly dancing and otherwise. Inputs are from belly dance teachers and me. Also information on how we feel wearing these belly dancing belts.

 Belly Dance Belts - Sequin Belts

 Sequin belts are great for Egyptian and Cabaret Belly Dance style. These stretchy belts go well over pants and skirts, or wear it out for fun during Carnivale, Mardi Gras, or for Samba! These belly dance belts look great for a cabaret belly dance performance.

 Following are examples of sequin belly dance belts.
Belly Dancing Belts - Metal Belts
One thing about a metal belly dancing belt is that it does make very less noise and is not so much fun to belly dance with when learning or at class but it feels really good to wear it over a costume or one could even wear it to go clubbing. The gold or silver of the metal shines on any colour and can be used for all belly dance forms.
Following are examples of metal belly dancing belt

Ritambhara Sahni - Teaching Jacqueline Fernadez at her Belly Dance Institute Mumbai

Ritambhara Sahni teaching Bollywood Actress Jacqueline Fernandez for belly dance
[ in Ritambhara sahni's words ]

I must say Jacqueline is a beautiful person and i totally love her. It was an honor teaching her and of course it goes without saying that she herself is inspiring.
Working with many actors in the film industry I, Ritambhara Sahni have to say that our Bollywood actors work really hard to achieve great performances. I have taught many actors in the past be it Hip Hop, Bollywood running my institute Ritambhara Sahni's institute For the Performing Arts and also taught Belly Dancing to so many as i have been running Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni since 2005. I have seen them work hard at it.The pressure to perform on screen in front of the world can surly create that magic. Will post about my experiences with them soon in my next posts. Teaching Jacqueline is an experience i must say and any dance teachers delight, she is so flexible and is a great dancer and belly dance performer and i can attest that. Watching her shimmy in her belly dance belt made me go crazy at my belly dance class in Mumbai.- Bandra center.

 Jacqueline loves to belly dance and dance and i love the way she gives the importance to dance in our Indian Film Industry. She surly worships each dance form and is dedicated and passionate to the art of any dance form including belly dancing of course. I, Ritambhara Sahni have totally felt this being with her for so many days now. She loves to belly dance and i really cant wait to see her perform belly dancing wearing a shimmery belly dancing belt and costume in a movie sometime soon.

 Running both my institutes- Ritambhara Sahni's Institute For the Performing Arts [ since 1996 ] and Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni [ since 2005] i have realized that Music and dance has been an essential part of Bollywood filmography. Belly dancing has been a great influence in Bollywood dance sequences. The many forms of belly dancing like Arabic, Egyptian, Turkish, Lebanese are used in our Bollywood dance sequences with the costuming , props and the infamous belly dance belts. Belly Dance has been more familiar to the westerners.

 Zeenat Aman was the 1st one to have incorporated belly dancing in a song from ' The Great Gambler' wearing a red dress she managed to sizzle on screen but dint quite have the belly dancer's swag so is said. [ I disagree] and  i love Zeenat Aman mam and you have come in my dreams belly dancing in your ' Laila Main Laila' song.

Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni
Ritambhara Sahni of Belly Dance Institute Mumbai cannot get over Zeenat Aman's look. Love her in this red costume and the embroidered belly dancing belt over it. 

Queen Helen of the Indian  'item song ' industry has always incorporated belly dance moves in her numbers. Mehbooba O Mehbooba from Sholay movie has always been remembered as one of her best performances. I love you Helen mam- grew up dancing to all your songs.

Ritambhara Belly Dance Institute Mumbai
Ritambhara Sahni of Belly Dance Institute Mumbai just cant get over Helen's Beautiful look, her green costume and her lovely belly dance belt. Love you Helen mam


In the the recent years Mallika Sherawat belly danced to Mayya Mayya from ' Guru ' movie and showed off her skills. Belly Dance Institute Mumbai taught belly dance on Mayya Mayya to all our Beginner's for quite a few years and all our students just loved it
Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni
Ritambhara Sahni of belly Dance Institute Mumbai taught on the famous track -' Mayya Mayya' to several students and loves the movie for the same.

Also, in the recent years glimpses of belly dancing have seen in 3 songs of Katrina Kaif - Afghaan Jalebi [ Ritambhara Sahni loves this song and Ritambhara sahni loves this song - oh how i can go on...] from Ek Tha Tiger, Mashallah Mashallah, and Sheela Ki Jawani of Course.Not much of belly dancing but a few moves blended in with Bollywood dancing , but all the 3 songs got popularized for belly dancing. Belly Dance Institute Mumbai loves you Katrina for popularizing belly dancing so much here in India and changing the view point of so many. You were and are awesome. I was interviewed by Star News for Katrina Kaifs injury to belly dance in her song shoot for Sheila Ki Jawani. Heres the news clipping fro Ritambhara Sahni of Belly Dance Institute Mumbai - interview Star News for Katrina Kaif's injury to belly dance.

  Even more recent is Rani Mukherjee's Aiyya which is one of the most well rehearsed  for belly dancing by Rani. It seems she rehearsed for 3 months . The song had Bollywood moves again blended with belly dancing but Rani you were awesome.
Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni
Ritambhara sahni of Belly Dance Institute Mumbai loved Rani Mukherjee's flawless performance to her Aiya...love you Rani Mukherjee.

Ritambhara Sahni of Belly Dance Institute Mumbai choreographed India's 1st Flash Mob for Channel 'V'




CLICK TO WATCH - Full Music Video of India's 1st Flash Mob 



I, Ritambhara Sahni, got the opportunity to choreograph India's 1st flash mob for channel 'V' and the experience was spectacular. 21st, 22nd and 23rd August 2009 were 3 memorable days. Students of my institute ' Ritambhara Sahni's Institute For The Performing Arts ' and Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni' participated and performed in this flash mob for Channel ' V'.
This is how it all happened ......
So, I get this call from channel 'V' asking me to choreograph a flash mob for them . I was like 'this sounds great- a flash mob has never happened in India and i would be honored to do this.' But i started to wonder as for a flash mob to happen , there has to be a reason and so i called them back to ask them as to why are we doing a 'Flash Mob'....and the answer was - ' Channel V is changing ' to ' Channel V is Bloody Cool'. Wow, this sounded too cool and i was excited. On meeting with Channel 'V' we decided on creating a flash mob similar to the mob that happened for Micheal Jackson. I had wanted to always choreograph a flash mob earlier but getting permission for venues in Mumbai was not easy. However , i was really curious to know the venues as i had really tried my best to get venues in the past and i was happy to know we were performing at Pheonix Mills Compound, in cinema halls and a few malls in the city. We were given a limit of 50 students totally for the mob and we had just 3 weeks to organize and execute the same. A day went in informing and bringing my students to perform from both my institutes which were Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni and Ritambhara Sahni's Institute For The Performing Arts. We rehearsed daily and waited each day for the day to come to perform. It was 3 days of performances happening all over Mumbai. With the video footage , a music video was to be made which had to be telecast-ed soon on Channel 'V' several times a day. What excited me the most that my institute - ' Ritambhara Sahni's Institute For The Performing Arts ' would be credited each time it was telecast-ed.

The event was amazing. It was 3 days of unforgettable fun and we still cannot stop talking about it until today.

Review / Testimonial by a student at Ritambhara Sahni's Belly Dance Institute Mumbai

 I am here to describe my lovely experience with belly dance institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni. I definitely want that everyone should read this and gain from my experience. So, here goes... As a professional model we are expected to always look our best and appearance s is what matters the most. So, in order to live up to the image our profession demands and also feel good about ourselves, yoga, Pilates and aerobics is part of our daily regimen. We socially engage ourselves and keep ourselves entwined with the entertainment fraternity. I was offered a role in a TV series which required the actress to do a belly dance sequence. Though I’ve a knack to pick choreographies easily, I took this as an opportunity to learn from a belly dance professional. If I wanted to learn belly dance the authentic way, the instructor himself suggested that I enroll myself in Belly Dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni for the beginner’s course. I took his advice and acted on it immediately by calling Ritambhara's belly dance classes in Mumbai. After outlining the situation, she gave me a brief about the beginner’s level. I must credit Ritambhara Sahani for her professionalism and I found her to be very congenial, just like how the instructor said she would be. The course is structured completely on a learner’s interest and the student has a lot to gain from this institute - Ritambhara Sahni's institute. She has given the student an upper hand by offering a flexibility in timing and the opportunity to practice in all the batches and in all the venues which are Colaba, Bandra Khar and Andheri. Making the most of this opportunity, I went on to practice whenever I got the chance for my betterment. I love belly dancing with my belly dance belt, belly dance belts give you a really 'good' feel. Not only me, but all my batch mates adore their belly dancing belts and always want to belly dance with their belly dancing belt. Ritambhara Sahni is a wonderful belly dance instructor with a capacity of making a non-dancer, dance too. I’ve seen this change she has brought about in so many students with optimism and a winning attitude. I only hoped that when I had to perform for the silver screen, I would be half as good as she is. Under her guidance and with her encouragement, I got better during that short span of time. I aim to pursue the further levels at Ritambhara Sahni's Belly Dance Institute Mumbai  and dedicate a lot more time learning from this exceptional belly dancer - Ritambhara Sahni. Belly Dance Institute Mumbai - what an incredible Belly Dance Class in Mumbai. - Janki Mehta - Television Actress

Ritambhara Sahni of Belly Dance Institute Mumbai on Star News for Katrina Kaifs injury to belly dance

Ritambhara Sahni belly Dance
Ritambhara Sahni of Belly Dance Institute Mumbai - interview on Katrina's Kaif 's injury to Belly Dance

 Click to Watch - Do Watch This Video until the end to see what happened - SHOCKING




In Ritambhara Sahni's words .....

I have always loved Farah Khan as a choreographer and she had given me the 1st prize for my duet performance at the' Malhar ' event at Xaviers College Mumbai when i was in college for my dance performance where i met her for the first time. She absolutely loved my performance and had asked me to join her troupe for a performance. I wish i had done so at that time but circumstances dint permit me to do so. 

 I was also one of the first females to belly dance at the Malhar festival . It was an amazing moment to remember on stage wearing my belly dance belt and moving to the belly dance beats. Belly dance itself had left the audience amazed and so many girls from the audience had come backstage just to explore and learn about belly dancing and were crazy about wearing my belly dance belt and trying the moves.They wanted me to start belly dance classes asap when they learnt i also owned Ritambhara Sahni's institute. 

 i continued to watch Farah Khan mam's work in Bollywood songs and would really always admire her and missed having the opportunity to work with her. I was running my institute as well - ' Ritambhara Sahni's institute for the performing arts'.  Loved her movie ' Main hoon na' , loved Om Shanti Om and 'Tees Maar Khan' was one movie that i laughed and laughed. 
Ritambhara Sahni Belly Dance
Ritambhara Sahni on Star News for Katrina Kaifs injury to Belly Dance in Tees Maar Khan

 This movie of Farah Khan got me connected to her now through belly dancing. I was also running my institute - Belly dance institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni along with my Ritambhara Sahni's institute for the performing Arts .  So belly dancing was picking up in Mumbai and Farah Khan decided to make Katrina Kaif belly dance in her movie and had already announced that Katrina would be belly dancing in her next movie  - ' Tees Maar Khan' on various news channels and publications.

 And yes if you remember , we all waited for this movie just to watch Katrina's well toned stomach belly dance for us in the famous song ' Sheela Ki Jawani'. The song was already a rage before the release of the movie and my students and me at Belly Dance institute Mumbai could not wait for the movie to release.

Star News interview of Ritambhara Sahni at Belly Dance Institute Mumbai for Katrina Kaifs injury to belly dance for her movie - ' Tees Maar Khan'
However , Katrina Kaif injured herself in the song shoot while belly dancing and that itself had become  big news for that week. It had come on all the news channels several times a day and was also published in the papers. Star News contacted me for the same. They actually needed advise and an opinion from me - 'Ritambhara Sahni' as a belly dance expert that - ' is it possible to injure oneself while belly dancing ?'

 Do watch the full video until the end to know if belly dancing can cause injuries  and also how could one injure oneself with belly dancing. Belly dance Institute Mumbai was started by me in the year 2005 and has been going strong ever since. Belly dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni is the first ever belly dance class in Mumbai.

Review / Testimonial by a student at Ritambhara Sahni's Belly Dance Institute Mumbai

I , frankly,am one of those folks who mostly have had to drag themselves to workouts over all the years I’ve been doing it! I never really joined a dance class as i thought i would be the last person to dance .  No matter what form the workout is I do it because it’s good for me. I do it to stay healthy. I do it to be able to wear great clothes. But when  I started belly dancing at Belly dance Institute Mumbai by Ritambhara Sahni I started little by little feeling differently. But over the last couple months something radical has happened…it’s called Ritambhara Sahni! For me she and belly dance institute Mumbai are the best of the best! Ritambhara Sahani is one great teacher not just to teach the art of belly dance but a great friend and guide. Now I actually look forward to this belly dance  class in Mumbai! Belly Dancing with them makes me feel happy and on top of that  they offer an amazing workout which is submerged withn the belly dance course itself. I’ve scheduled my clients around their class. I drag myself there at times I’ve never worked out before and i also attent as as i can at all their centers which are Colaba, Bandra , Khar and Andheri.. If they taught more I’d be there more. Belly dance has also got more addictive because of dressing up and wearing my belly dancing belt. My belly dance belt makes me so much more motivated to non stop belly dance. I dream about belly dancing and wearing all the various colors of the belly dance belts and the crazy coins in the belly dancing belts and also imagine myself in beautiful costumes. I feel more and more beautiful and good about myself belly dancing these days and the credit for the motivation and the awesome feel goes to Ritambhara Sahni's Belly Dance institute Mumbai.
