Looking for a safe and fun way to stay in shape and lose the ‘Quarantine 15’ weight? 🙈💪 I’ve been going to Richmond Ballet’s new BollyX class taught by Susheela Varky for several weeks now and I’ve been having a BLAST! 💃🏽
The class is energetic and vigorous and is a follow-along, interval-style fitness class (similar to Zumba) that gives a full body workout - cardio, arms, legs, and abs. The COOL part about this class is it’s Bollywood inspiration and incorporation of music and choreography from across the globe such as Bhangra, which is a traditional dance originated from Punjab. 🌏 It’s a great way to immerse yourself in Indian culture! The class has an in-person limit which allows for adequate social distancing and also requires masks which I think of as making the workout even more challenging, in a good way! 😷🏋🏽♀️ They also offer live stream classes via Zoom if you want the convenience of working out from home without a mask (and you don’t have to live in Richmond)! 💻🏠
The class is offered twice a week for just $12 and you can sign up using the MINDBODY app. Susheela is AWESOME (did I mention she’s also a lawyer?!) and upbeat which makes the class full of fun and smiles. 😁 And don’t worry if you have never taken a class of this type before! Susheela gives more basic alternative steps for those who are still learning the moves or simply need to rest which makes it perfect for both beginners and professionals. I was a student at Richmond Ballet for 11 years growing up and it’s so heartwarming to come back and take adult classes each week...nothing beats the in-person experience of being in a studio again. 🥰 Dance is something that I will always cherish and brings me so much joy and I hope it does for you too! 💃🏽 Come say hi to me on Tuesdays or Saturdays if you decide to attend a class in person! 💕
