*“Life is short. If there was ever a moment to follow your passion and do something that matters to you, that moment is now.”*

Tamara’s BollyX journey began in April 2013 when she became a certified BollyX instructor. Shortly after, she stepped into a leadership role and helped officially launch BollyX in the Bay Area. What started with a love of dance fitness quickly grew into a passion for building community, developing instructors, and creating spaces where people feel welcomed, supported, and inspired.

With more than 15 years of experience in dance fitness, Tamara’s teaching philosophy has been shaped by both her personal experiences and her belief that movement is for everyone. She believes dance has a unique ability to bring people together across different backgrounds, cultures, abilities, and life experiences. For Tamara, that is part of the magic of BollyX—it encourages us to challenge ourselves, celebrate one another, and embrace the idea that anything is possible.

Community involvement has also been an important part of Tamara’s BollyX journey. Over the years, she has supported and collaborated with organizations and events including Asha SF, WomenNow, ICC Sevathon, Desi Dance Network in support of the Shanti Bhavan Children’s Project, the American Heart Association, the National MS Society, Inclusive World, and We Embrace. She is especially passionate about using fitness and dance to support charitable causes and create opportunities for people of all abilities to experience the joy of movement.

Today, Tamara serves as BollyX’s **National Training Director and Regional Director for Northern California**. She is part of the Senior Leadership Team and works on instructor education, training, community development, and special projects. One of the most rewarding parts of her role is helping instructors grow—not only as fitness professionals, but as leaders who can create strong, inclusive communities of their own.

After more than a decade with BollyX, Tamara remains inspired by the same thing that drew her to the program in the beginning: the power of dance to connect people, build confidence, and create community.
