Our Story
Our journey began with our founder, Varalika Srivastava, who was born and raised in India and fell in love with Indian dance forms from a young age. She has trained in both Bharatanatyam and Kathak and has been dancing since she was 10 years old. Over the years, she has taken various workshops to explore other dance forms like Jazz, Hip Hop, and Belly Dance. Dancing is her way of self-expression, and she loves to teach and perform with her students. Our Co-Founder, Christine Willett, brings her passion for fitness and dance to our BollyX classes. She is a certified BollyX instructor and has performed at various venues including the Kennedy Center Millennium Stage and the National Theater.
