My daughter misses her dance class, and finding Bollywood Groove has opened her up to new styles and she loves it!
We only recently found the classes but my kids love them! they learn and move and see others, and it really gives us a great activity to look forward to on Friday mornings. Super fun!īollywood Groove has been AMAZING! We have been joining the virtual classes over the past month and the level of instruction is unmatched. Also, she is very responsive to emails and connects with her students each class. I am so glad she offered these classes virtually or I would have never discovered her because I live nowhere close to Chicago. And I signed up for her cardio dance classes to remind me to keep moving.
I signed up my daughter for her weekly kid’s classes and Ajanta knew how to keep the kids engaged during each session.
Ajanta is full of energy! I found Bollywood Groove in April during our second month of quarantine and she helped me through the long months.
