Move over salsa, tango, and Western dance forms and aerobics classes; it's time for Bollywood-style fitness regimes.

'Masala Bhangra', a new form of dancing aerobics that combines rigorous workout with the pacy moves of a traditional dance from northern India is attracting youngsters and fitness enthusiasts in New Delhi.

Amalgamation of Hindi word Masala, which means 'spicy' and Bhangra, a popular folk dance from the northern state of Punjab, this unique workout mixes cardiovascular workouts with dance moves, and is suitable for participants of all ages and fitness levels.

Conceived and designed by Sarina Jain, an American of Indian origin, Masala Bhangra is among the top five fitness workouts in the United States of America.

"'Masala Bhangra' is an Indian dance work out, 'masala' is Hindi; 'bhangra' is a folk dance of north part of India. This class combined with elements of bhangra and Bollywood. You have to put some elements of Bollywood into the class; my entire programme is backed by the fitness boards. I am very proud to say it is one of the top five workouts in the US," said Jain.

She was in the Indian capital for her annual special class at her studio in which she personally supervises the participants.
