Bollywood Groove

How Medha Got Her BollyGroove Back

In school, my parents always encouraged me to participate in various extracurricular activities ranging from sports leagues to piano lessons. When I was younger, I didn’t always appreciate having every evening being consumed by an activity. In retrospect, I feel like it made me a well rounded person with a sense of purpose and social skills. But as an adult, all activities were replaced with a 9 to 5 desk job, takeout food and binge watching. As a result, ‘well rounded’ had taken on a different meaning:( It was time for a change..

I still remember that fateful day at my first Bollywood Groove class two years ago. I looked around the packed room to find people of all ages, races, shapes and sizes. They were on a mission and had made a beeline for the room to find their favorite spots before the previous class had even ended. Within 5 minutes, I was sweating profusely but still somehow smiling. I felt like I was having the best kind of heart attack possible. Ajanta, our instructor, pumped up the room with her infectious energy and gentle banter. A few songs in and suddenly we were breaking as half the class was over. By now, at the gym, I would have been on the dreaded elliptical machine and already indulged in an evil stare down with the clock.

Little did I know that that day I would discover my passion for dance and have energetic evenings to look forward to. Mondays and Wednesdays soon became days where I scheduled time to see my equally hooked friends who had joined. Did I mention that my pants weren’t as snug?

This week, Bollywood Groove has been hosting free classes at its numerous studios. With half the week left, spots are going fast for the remaining classes. Whether you are Bollycurious or Bollyserious, I strongly encourage you to enjoy an amazing experience with fun moves, seriously catchy Indian dance music, and uplifting instructors.
