Demonstrating a flair for changing looks and styles, PoisE’n offers audiences a constant change in their style, costumes and cheeky take at the world of performing arts. In 2011, PoisE’n created a new genre of dance – Bollypop! Bollypop culminates of the group’s favorite dance styles, hip-hop and Bollywood.
PoisE’n will be putting on a ‘masala’ dance workshop during the ISANA dinner so you can explore and discover the Bollywood dancer within you. Before you know it, you’ll be screwing the lightbulb, petting the dog and perfecting the head wobble.
