Anjali says "Dance is the language of my soul and my passion, my expression and my love!
Fitness is my state of mind! So I believe combining these two was my biggest dream and I did it through Bolly Dazz ❤️. Mumbai is my birth place and Singapore my home.

From the year 2000 it has been a beautiful dance-n-fitness journey with my best friends - My Students from whom we always got so much love and respect. They truly are my lifeline❤️. Looking back 23yrs, I realise that all I started with was a burning desire to capture the hearts and minds of the dance and fitness community. The overwhelming response amazed me every time and gave me the courage to move forward and reach out globally with the Bolly Dazz Fitness program in 15 countries! Bolly Dancing Studio had a very humble beginning with just 2 students and has now touched the lives of thousands of participants through classes, workshops and corporate & charity events, over the decades.

See you all at Bolly Dancing studio for fun filled workouts. Sparkle, smile, shine and let's dance it out :)"

“ I read a saying that - There are shortcuts to happiness and DANCING is one of them.

I started the journey of dancing as my dose to be happy and energetic. Soon it got infectious and I was able to spread the joy amongst others .

Dancing created a new ‘me’ . A path to self discovery that remains as a guiding force even after over 2 decades of my journey and connecting with over 15000 students.

People say Variety is a spice of Life. That’s so true for me when I meet and teach dance to smart ladies in my fitness class and in the afternoon connect with school students for teaching some cool dance moves and in the evening working with a cute grandmother to teach dance steps for her grand daughter’s wedding.

Dance is in Me. I am in my Dance”

“At Bolly Dancing Singapore we are serious about fun!

This is where friendly meets professional. Dedicating the last 15 years to building a community through our classes and corporate wellness programs I never imagined that running operations and marketing could be so interesting - my fav part is talking to members and getting to know them - and being able to putting to use my IT background to give a seem less experience to members.

Our Bolly Dazz instructor training workshops in various countries give me the opportunity to meet instructors and understand their perspectives and see how things are run in other studios over the world and what people are doing to make the whole dance and fitness industry a very important part of everyday life. The learning curve has been extremely educative and what's always on the mind is how I can implement all this happening stuff at BDS!”
