Your Host

Akhila Damerla
Bollybeatz Instructor

Akhila Damerla wants her students to leave dance classes with a smile, still humming the music and practicing the steps as they go. Her sessions focus on the fun found in Bollywood routines, as well as the grace of more traditional forms such as Bhangra and Kuchipudi, in which she trained for six years. When Akhila isn’t leading dance parties for adults, she often teaches Bollywood aerobics workouts and workshops for children.
