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: When I am not teaching, I am analyzing and strategizing for my career as the Director of Patron Loyalty for a symphony orchestra. During my free time I love to read, binge watch streaming series, visit with family and friends, and garden/observe wildlife with my husband on our 5 wooded acres. In addition to BollyX, I have been a certified group fitness instructor for 5 years and currently I lead Zumba, Zumba Gold and Pound classes. In the past I have also taught Aqua Zumba, Zumba Kids, Zumba Toning, Silver Sneakers, R.I.P.P.E.D. and PiYo.

Q: How would you describe BollyX in one word?

A: Expression!

Q: What is your favorite part of BollyX class?

A: I love when friends are on opposite sides of the performance section and seeing their dynamics of encouragement, gentle teasing and then awe as they see their friend crush the choreography!

Q: How has working with BollyX changed you or your lifestyle?

A: I enjoy especially the BollyX motto of “Unleash Your Inner Rockstar.” When you think about it, rockstars do not necessarily sing better than the average person, but they definitely sing LOUDER. BollyX classes provide an outlet for participants and instructors to Turn Up the Volume in their lives both inside and outside the confines of the studio

Q: How long have you been with BollyX?

My initial training was in October 2015 and I certified in BollyX LIT in April 2016.

Q: What is your favorite BollyX song to teach?

Lungi Dance was my favorite song in the training Master Class and remains one of my favorites to add back into the playlist.

Q: Where do you teach BollyX?

I teach at the University of Arkansas, Washington Regional Center for Exercise and I lead public demonstrations to spread the BollyX love out to the community!
