BollyX Now at FitRec!

BollyX dance class now offered at FitRec!

Are you one of those people who watches Bollywood movies and finds it difficult to stay in your seat?  Ellie Steever is a Boston-based graphic designer and BU employee and she was is one of those people. Her love for dance began with competitions as a child, onto classical ballet training into her teenage years, and a study of modern dance at Tufts University. She found her way to BollyX, a dance fitness workout, and was encouraged to become an instructor. Ellie always found joy, health and a strong community in dance, and recognized all of these tenants in BollyX. She’ll be teaching BollyX here at BU and is sharing her passion for movement and music.

This dance fitness class is an hour long with choreography to Bollywood, Bhangra and contemporary songs. It starts off gently and then kicks into gear. It includes fun moves including those Bollywood/Bhangra steps you’d see in the movies, some freestyle poses, and a “performance” where the class splits into two groups.

Ellie loves teaching BollyX and her enthusiasm is infectious – which helps motivate you through the intense dance workout you’ll get in her class. She’s teaching a free class as part of FitRec’s Open House, Wednesday, May 4. The summer session 1 BollyX class starts May 31.
