Hareepa
Stand with legs pressed together, arms over your head. Swing your hips to the left and then the right, hopping to the right at the same time. Swing hips to the left again, then back to the right as you hop right. As your hips move left to right, your arms should sway from left to right over your body. Do this four times, then hop left four times, bringing hips and arms from right to left as you go. Repeat four times (for a total of 16 hops to each side).

I rather just walk.  I walk 20 minutes every morning and have lost weight, sleep better and feel fabulous. http://www.fitnosh.com

Exactly what I was thinking.  All of these moves are Bhangra dance moves, and Bhangra is Punjabi.  Bollywood is a bunch of pelvic thrusting copycats, these moves are pure Punjabi.   And Bhangra is awesome.

Bollywood dancing is unique and is mixture of Bhangra and other dances from India. Not only dances from India but it also gracefully mix the other dances like western, Arabic, etc.

Bollywood dancing is becoming very popular these days all over the world and it rightly deserve so. Bollywood Rockers is one of most popular bollywood dance school in US

These specific moves are from Punjabi folk dance called Bhangra from the state of Punjab  in India. The title should have been Bhangra moves, Not "The Bollywood Dance Workout."
