Originally from Chapel Hill, NC, Annabella is a lifelong dancer and grew up training in ballet, jazz, and contemporary. In college, she was an active participant in the South Asian dance community. After moving to Cambridge, MA, she stumbled upon BollyX at her community gym by serendipity! Her first class, with the inimitable Dalia Debs, instantly transported her back to the fun and joy that South Asian dance forms had elicited for her in college. She was hooked!

BollyX is Annabella's ultimate happy place, where nothing beats the rush of a rewarding workout from high-energy dancing to incredible music with a distinctly diverse and inclusive community. As an instructor, Annabella wants to create a similar class environment in which her dancers feel pushed to their limits while having a blast. She strongly believes that smiling large and sweating hard go hand in hand.

Annabella's favorite dance styles are Bhangra, Bollywood, jazz, and anything fusion. During the day, Annabella is a MBA student at MIT Sloan.
