Bollywood Nights and Vinyasa with Hemalayaa
Bollywood Nights
Thursday, November 19th, 8:30pm to 10:30pm
This dance evening is going to have you dancing like an Indian Goddess. One of the ways we'll get there is through a series of moves that allow us to shed our fears and sense of inhibition. While dancing to the Bollywood beats, we'll learn to release any tension or sense of burden from our bodies.
What is unique about this class is that it works to build up our spirit while it strengthens our body. In the dance, we'll release and cleanse ourselves of self-doubt and stress. Then we use the dance to embrace and affirm our greatest qualities. It is the perfect way to release inhibitions, embrace your body, and fall in love with your self. You'll unleash the sensual, beautiful woman you are and love yourself from top to bottom.
