Meet Malvika, a proud Austin native and a dancer whose passion for the art is unending. Her journey into dance began with Bharatanatyam at just four years old, sparking a lifelong love for exploring diverse dance cultures. A highlight of her dance career was competing with her college team, Cornell Bhangra, on the Quarterfinals of America's Got Talent in 2014. Now based in San Francisco, Malvika has fallen in love with a variety of dance forms, including Jazz Funk, Hip Hop, and K-pop, integrating these with her roots in Bollywood, Bhangra, and Classical dance. Her Bollywood Fusion classes aim to make South Asian dance accessible and enjoyable for all, blending traditional and modern moves to create a space where everyone can discover the joy and expressiveness of dance.
