The Manchester crowd of 1,406 non dancers were given a Bollywood dance master class by Ria, who taught the routine live with four of Ri Ri’s talented male and female dancers, also, on stage. The choreography was specially created to be simple and fun allowing participants of all ages, from all walks of life, to partake in this incredible moment of history.
