RAPID FIRE ROUND
What is your philosophy in life?
“Dance first. Think later. It’s the natural order.”-Samuel Beckett
What is #1 on your bucket list?
Travelling to Tiruvannamali, India.
If you didn’t live in Chicago, where would we find you?
Scottish countryside maybe—any place that looks like The Shire.
When you are not in the dance studio, you are…
Seeing patients, thinking about life, wondering how to contribute to our planetary healing. Or just piddling around the house—crafting, repotting a plant, watching Ancient Aliens or Mr Robot with my husband.
What are 3 words that people use to describe your teaching style?
I have no idea! I hope fun, energetic, supportive.
Tell us about your introduction to and love story with BollyGroove?
Romita and I fell in love with Ajanta at the all-ladies dance party Romi threw for me before my wedding. We learned a dance and then performed it at the wedding. Then we began taking the cardio class. Ajanta pulled us aside after class one day—we thought we were in ‘trouble’ for being late—and she asked us to teach. We were crushing on her so much that we said yes to teaching before really knowing what it entailed. Thank goodness Ajanta didn’t know we had no dance training to speak of. I am still trying not to feel like an imposter, but it has been such a treat to be welcomed into bG and have a chance to be a dancer—my inner 6 year old (who watched “Fame” like it was a religious service) is so pleased.
What are your favorite BollyGroove songs to dance to?
I still like some oldies—Psycho Re and Dhoom. The new ones I’m liking are Chittayan and Hey Rama Rama.
