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: I am a full time housewife and mother of 2 teenagers (ages 16 & 14) plus the owner of Cosmofit Dance Studio located in Rancho Cucamonga.

When I’m not teaching, you will find me balancing this beautiful life by hanging out with my family and friends, constantly learning a new choreography to make all of my classes fresh and exciting, and running around town doing errands (HA!). Beside from my obvious hobby which is dancing, I also love hiking, swimming, shopping and trying new food/restaurant also traveling around the world.

Currently I’m also teaching Zumba® Fitness and Piloxing® SSP.

Q: How would you describe BollyX in one word?
A: CAPTIVATING, that’s the word that comes up in my thoughts when I see the look on Bolly X’s participants. They are so passionately fascinated by the moves!

Q: What is your favorite part of BollyX class?
A: Definitely the performance section where all of participants can bust the moves to the max and unleashing their inner rockstar! Oh yeah…..

Q: How has working with BollyX changed you or your lifestyle?
A: Working with BollyX fuels my passion to interact with people and I love sharing my love for dance & fitness even more! I’ve been teaching Zumba® for over 8 years and I was always waiting for them to send Bollywood/Bhangra choreography. I personally love the upbeat dance and moves and also my students constantly request them. Thanks to BollyX, I can now give them a full 50 minutes of Bollywood and Bhangra songs and it makes all of students happy.

Q: How long have you been with BollyX?
A: I’m so lucky that I trained with one of the co-founders of BollyX, Shahil Patel, back in February 2016. He is amazingly humble and talented and I’m so glad to be a part of the BollyX Family.

Q: What is your favorite BollyX song to teach?
A: It’s hard to pick – I love all songs on my playlist! High Heels Te Nachche is so cute and Turn Down For What is so fierce!

Q: Where do you teach BollyX?
A: Exclusively in Cosmofit Dance Studio, Rancho Cucamonga, California.
