The series is produced by Meralta Films, Amplify Pictures and 30WEST.<\/p>\n<p>From Academy Award- and three-time Emmy Award\u00ae-nominated director Smriti Mundhra (&#8220;<em>St. Louis Superman<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Indian Matchmaking<\/em>&#8220;) and Emmy\u00ae, Tony\u00ae, Peabody and Golden Globe\u00ae Award-winning producer Joe Lewis (<em>&#8220;100 Foot Wave,&#8221; &#8220;Fleabag&#8221;<\/em>), the six-part series delves into the cultural phenomenon that has swept universities across the United States.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2527501889\" class=\"morty-content\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>For many Bollywood fusion dancers, the genre has proved an opportunity to express, create, and perform on major stages while fostering community with their fellow first- and second-generation South Asian students. Capturing the grueling, ten-hour practice days and the personal sacrifices each dancer has to make, LEGENDS (working title) focuses on the stories of two key squads in pursuit of the national title.<\/p>\n<p>A mashup of hip-hop, contemporary, and pop with traditional Indian dance styles like bhangra, raas, kathak, and bharatnatyam, Bollywood fusion celebrates the convergence and beauty that emerges when two cultures meet. Every major university in the U.S. has a Bollywood fusion dance team, but only the top 10 teams in the country convene each April to compete in the Legends National Championship.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This series is my ode to young adulthood, a universal coming-of-age story told uniquely through the South Asian lens,&#8221; said Mundhra, director and executive producer. &#8220;It is the story of first-generation college students tasting freedom and chasing a glory that could transform their lives forever. I&#8217;m so honored to have the opportunity to introduce this vibrant world to Nat Geo&#8217;s global audiences and hope it inspires others the way it has lit a fire for me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Amplify Pictures is thrilled to help bring the incredible world of competitive Bollywood fusion dancing to audiences worldwide. Through the brilliant direction of Smriti Mundhra, as well as our amazing partners at Nat Geo, LEGENDS (working title) has become not just a compelling drama about dance but a vibrant saga of youth, ambition and cultural heritage,&#8221; added Lewis, executive producer and CEO of Amplify Pictures.<\/p><div id=\"morty-2826701374\" class=\"morty-content_2\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center;\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-4937602850188786\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-4937602850188786\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"5227734695\" \ndata-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\ndata-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8220;National Geographic has a long and storied history of exploring different cultures and sub-cultures all around the world,&#8221; said Tom McDonald, executive vice president, Global Factual and Unscripted Content, National Geographic. &#8220;In LEGENDS (working title), we&#8217;re taking a very contemporary lens to a very competitive world.
