I’m excited to announce my Bollywood dance fitness classes at the YMCA in Superior, every Thursday from 11:30-12:30 PM. Whether you’re looking for a lunchtime break or a workout before your later day shift, this class is the perfect energizing escape.
This class combines choreographed dance moves to popular Bollywood and Western hits, giving you the best of both worlds. We focus on toning tracks for arms, legs, and abs, finishing with a stretching yoga cool down that leaves you feeling restored.
The music is addictive, energetic, and full of Indian spice. But there’s something deeper happening here too. Mudras, the hand gestures used in traditional Indian dance for thousands of years, tell stories through movement. In classical Indian dance, performers once danced for the gods, weaving mythology and emotion into every gesture. I’ve brought that spiritual storytelling into our fitness format, blending ancient tradition with modern wellness.
Now, if you’re thinking this might feel like learning traditional Indian dance or belly dance, think again. This class moves at a lively pace—similar to high-energy Zumba—so it’s designed primarily for those comfortable with faster cardio routines. While I absolutely welcome participants of all ages and fitness levels, I want to be transparent: some of our more senior guests have found the choreography challenging to keep up with, and there’s a risk of balance or overexertion. That said, you’re more than welcome to modify by marching in place, moving to the rhythm at your own pace, or taking breaks as needed. The goal is to have fun and move your body in whatever way feels right for you. Just listen to your body and let me know if you’d like modifications or have concerns about intensity before we start.
Join me every Thursday and discover why Bollywood dance fitness is one of the most joyful workouts around. And stay tuned, because this fall I’m expanding to an even more dedicated studio space where we can dive even deeper into this vibrant practice.
