Meet our Instructors below:

Anushya has been dancing since the age of 5. She started with Indian classical dance then joined the competitive Bhangra, Raas, and Fusion teams in college. While Anushya is an Engineer/Consultant by day, she started choreographing bollywood dances at the age of 13 and has been doing so ever since!

She is always excited to share her love for dance with others and being able to do it in the form of a workout is (in her words) JUST SO AWESOME.

BollyX= 100% excitement with 0% chance of failure.
