Our newest Instructor of the Week is credited with bringing BollyX to Philadelphia. Meghana is a veterinary student at the University of Pennsylvania and teaches BollyX at the PennRec Health and Fitness Center. She tore it up for the first time last week and will be back this Thursday to rock it out with our Philly crowd.

Q: How would you describe BollyX in one word?
A: Energizing!

Q: What differentiates BollyX from other dance/fitness platforms you’ve worked with?
A: I think what sets BollyX apart from other dance fitness classes is its ability to appeal to a huge variety of people. It’s great to see people from all walks of life and backgrounds come together to enjoy this class.

Q: What is your favorite part of a BollyX class?
A: Probably the warm-up song. A lot of people come into a dance fitness class with a certain degree of hesitancy, so it’s really awesome to see that nervousness melt away as the song progresses. By the end of it, the class is relaxed, warmed up, and hungry for more!

Q: How has working with BollyX changed you?
A: BollyX has been a great way for me to both share my love of dancing with my community and to stay in shape! It’s easy to get a little lazy when you spend so much time sitting in class, but BollyX motivates me to sweat it out on the dancefloor!
