Q: Tell us about yourself – what do you do when you’re not teaching? What are your hobbies? What other formats do you teach? Give us a little on your background.
A: Hi My name is Amy Miller, I am married to the most supportive man and have two daughters – one of them actually teaches BollyX too. On April 13, 2009, I promised my grandfather I would quit smoking. My grandfather was my support, I called him every Tuesday. I lost him in October of 09 and along with winter depression, the loss of my grandfather was overwhelming. I turned to the kitchen to fill the void. I finally realized I had to work at what I wanted (weight loss). I never thought I would be an instructor – now I am AFAA Certified! And I am the owner of ZQ Amy’s fitness studio. I have become a runner and I never thought that could happen. I also ride my own purple motorcycle and love boating. Oh! And I am an Office Manager for a 3PL Warehouse company. Besides BollyX, I teach Zumba and I run a bootcamp.
Q: How would you describe BollyX in one word?
A: Badass, no wait, amazing, no I’ve got it, effective, wait one word to describe BollyX…ME
Q: What is your favorite part of BollyX class?
A: The students and co instructors. The music starts and the beats begins to enter the soul, the attitudes begin to sneak out and they let loose. You look to your side and see a smiling co instructor getting into it and that is what it is all about: rocking out to the best music with the best partners and students.
Q: How has working with BollyX changed you or your lifestyle?
A: It relit the spark in me!! I was getting into a rut and BollyX released me! And I’ve also had the chance to meet wonderful people. Each person involved with BollyX is just so kind and accepting. I am truly blessed to have danced next to Shahil, Minal, Clara, Meredith and the two that started this crazy new adventure: Fen and Dalia, Thank you ladies for changing my LIFE!!
Q: How long have you been with BollyX?
A: November 2015
Q: What is your favorite BollyX song to teach?
A: Believe it or not – “Moorni,” followed by “I Don’t Like It, I Love It.”
Q: Where do you teach BollyX?
A: ZQ Amy’s in Somerset, MA
