How to audition to teach a workshop for Boston Bollywood?
Boston Bollywood is always looking for fresh talent to teach workshops or join our seasons as choreographers. If you’re interested in teaching a workshop with us, please fill out the form below and include an audition video. Submissions are reviewed on a rolling basis, and we’ll reach out if your video resonates with us.
Workshop Interest Form
Final teaching assignments will depend on several factors, including studio availability, your availability, the seniority of existing choreographers/dancers, and the demand for specific dance styles. Priority will be given to instructors who have danced with Boston Bollywood before.
Choreography Expectations:
My goal is to put Boston Bollywood choreographers on the world map.
Choreograph knowing that you are an inspiration. Create something you’ll be proud of — something that showcases your unique style and pushes you creatively. This is your chance to explore and take risks in a low-pressure, supportive environment.
Use this time to craft work that feels like you. A good rule of thumb: aim for choreography that’s about 35% advanced, 35% intermediate, and 30% beginner. Include moments of complexity — sections with layered musicality or movement that shifts on every count. But also give your dancers space to ease in and enjoy the flow. That contrast is what makes a piece come alive.
You’re not just teaching steps — you’re building something bigger. Let’s create work that makes people take notice.
Compensation Model:
Boston Bollywood shares a portion of the workshop profits with choreographers, to be outlined in a formal contract. Studio rental costs are fully covered by BB.
We do not hire a videographer, but we will film the final product on a phone. This video will be shared on Boston Bollywood’s main social media page, with the choreographer tagged as a collaborator. You are encouraged to bring an assistant to help during the workshop and appear in the final video — assistants may attend the workshop for free.
If two choreographers co-lead a workshop, each will receive half of the designated profit percentage.
Timeline:
Workshops are typically scheduled between January and October, with a break in November and December. Depending on when you submit your interest form, it may take 3 to 6 months for your workshop to be scheduled if selected.
Social Media Expectations:
All choreographers are expected to promote the Intermediate Bollywood workshop series poster at least once per week — even after your own workshop is over — to support the full lineup and community visibility.
