#Testimonials

Bollywood Funk is my first ever dance class. What? The place to be yourself and to get answers to all your questions. Where? You get a choice to choose the location as per your schedule. Not once but every time! How? It’s super easy. Just ping them! When? At flexible and convenient hours. Why? If you miss a class, they make sure you catch up. No one judges you. And, have you seen their website and social media? So, you tell me why not?!

Fun dance, fun songs! It’s not just a class. It’s a community!

My favorite part of Bollywood Funk is the community and variety! The studios place a premium on inclusion and a welcoming environment, and teachers & students alike strive to get to know each other both creatively and personally. Come for the art; stay for the company!

Awesome work out where I can laugh at myself and learn something new as well, The instructors are amazing and every class is so much fun and always good energy i am so glad that i am a part of bollywood funk family now.

Bollywood Funk NYC has made my experience in this city absolutely unforgettable! From the moment I’ve entered it and every minute after, I find myself looking forward to the next class, the next song and the next choreography! I love that their regular classes allow me to work on my technique, while Naach keeps it fresh and keeps us on our toes. I think the biggest shoutout goes to the instructors as well as the other dancers that have made me feel welcome and allowed me to make so many new friendships! This is now an unbreakable bond 😊

I started Bollywood dance classes with BollywoodFunk couple of months ago. Not having danced since years now, I am so happy that I have started my journey of relearning how to dance here. It is not just a class but a wonderful community with very supportive people. Hitesh has been a very encouraging mentor since the very first day. Not being able to remember and keep up with the routine on my first day – he told all of us not to worry and that it’ll only get easier. By the end of the 4 weeks, it was true and it didn’t seem that difficult anymore!
I look forward to learning, growing and making the most of my dance journey at here at BollywoodFunk!

The Bollywood Funk community is more like my family than just a dance group. The choreographers and students are both very welcoming from day 1 and take your insecurities away! Everyone has the same goal of improving themselves, pushing their limits, and having as much fun as possible along the way. I am glad to have joined such an awesome group of people whom I see being lifelong friends with!

I was going through a difficult time this year and joining Bollywood Funk was the best decision I could have made. The journey has been nothing but a pure joy and blessing. I learned that I can have my own thing by joining this class which has given me so much courage and inspiration to be a better human being in general. The teachers give out tremendous amount of positive energy. They are so talented, kind and humble. Last but not least, what a vibe dancing with other people from many different levels without judgement and having fun together.
Thank you, Bollywood Funk for everything!

Bollywood Funk NYC is a game changer. These classes helped me get over my fear of dancing with beginner friendly classes (big plus if you like Bollywood tunes) and amazing community where I met really good friends to hang with. Highly recommend to anyone interested!

I’ve always wanted to learn how to dance but I was always intimidated and lacked the confidence to put myself out there. When I moved to New York, I found Bollywood Funk and decided to take a leap of faith by signing up for the beginner sessions. Truthfully, the first session had me asking myself if I was up for it but Reme was so patient, warm and helpful in answering any and all questions that it calmed me down and helped me realize that it will get easier with time. What wasn’t lost on me though was how much fun I had and how excited I was to continue coming for more sessions.

I can confidently say that this is one of the most encouraging and passionate communities I’d had the pleasure of being a part of. The weekly sessions are tailored to your level and help you grow as a dancer and the Naach Express classes are the perfect outlet to have fun with new choreographies regularly. The best part about Bollywood Funk though are the instructors – they will go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and ensure you’re having fun while also growing as a dancer. I couldn’t be happier to have found them and I feel very grateful to have been welcomed into this wonderful community. Looking forward to attending many more classes!

I recently made the decision to return to the dance floor after a lengthy hiatus, and I must say, it has been an exhilarating and deeply fulfilling experience. Joining the dance class again has not only rekindled my passion for dance but has also brought a sense of joy and vitality back into my life.
The sense of community in the class was immediately evident, and it made me feel like this is where I belong.

It’s a testament to the power of pursuing one’s passions and the remarkable impact it can have on one’s physical and emotional well-being. If you’re considering returning to something you love, I wholeheartedly encourage you to take that step and dance your way back to happiness.

I have always been a big fan of the Bollywood culture from watching their movies to listening to their intricate music. I knew I had to explore this kind of dance at some point in my life. When I saw my friend attending one of their classes, I knew then it was time to reach out and seek a for a class. When I discovered Bollywood funk, I fell in love instantly with the music and the creative choreography that each piece was taught to. Also the amazing community that I was able to connect with was something I’ve been searching for a while now. They are the most warm and welcoming people. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in this style of dance to try a class out. You will not regret it.

Joining Bollywood Funk was definitely one of the best decisions I made. Never have I been a part of a dance family that is this passionate, encouraging and fun! In the months that I have been here, not only have I grown as a dancer, I have also had the opportunity to perform and make lovely memories with amazing people. I look forward to what BFunk has in store this year, can’t wait to get back on the dance floor!

Finding Bollywoodfunk was the absolute best thing to happen to me in 2019! I was looking to do something uplifting and fun on my weekdays so I had something to look forward to. Bollywoodfunk has given me an outlet to feed my Bollywood loving soul. The classes are so inclusive and the instructors are all incredibly thorough, wonderful teachers and also just such fun personalities! I’ve regularly attended Naach Xpress classes as well as multiple workshops and it has been instant stress relief and a guaranteed good time. I have stayed until nearly 10PM on Monday nights and then commuted 1.5 hours to go home afterwards just for my dose of Bollywoodfunk and it has been absolutely worth it. I have also brought many friends and family with me to the classes over the year and everyone has had the best time and constantly ask me to keep them in the loop for upcoming workshops and classes. Looking forward to more classes with Ayesha, Zen, Reme, and Sahil! 

I started taking classes with Bollywoodfunk after a friend recommended I try out the “Naach Xpress” class. I remember leaving the first class feeling so satisfied and eager for the next class. I love how warm and welcoming the instructors are and the other dancers are also extremely supportive. I never considered myself to be a good dancer, but after that class, I felt like Hrithik Roshan! After taking a few classes, I decided that simply just attending once a week was not enough, and I ultimately signed up for the basic beginners package. I can safely say that I have absolutely no regrets about being a part of the Bollywoodfunk family and I look forward to dancing more in the future!

BollywoodFunk is a one stop solution for learning amazing dance techniques, engaging in an exciting workout and having lots of fun. The instructors are not only really talented but also personally invested in each person’s growth and make you feel like part of a big family!! I was a fan right from my session and my love for BollywoodFunk has only grown since then. I highly recommend it for all dance & bollywood enthusiasts!!!

I have been a BollywoodFunk member for about 2 months and can only praise the changes it brought to my daily life! I see, breath and walk dance and can’t wait to get to the studio after my hectic 9-to-5 job.

The instructors are very talented, fun and most importantly patient. As a beginner or someone like me who is getting back to dancing after a long sabbatical, the choreo is taught through a combination of exercises to get the movements and posture right and strong. Their constant motivation and technical critque along with the fun-filled banter allows you to relax and get out of your head to truely lose yourself in the dance moves. You will always leave the studio sweaty, energized, having learned something new and feeling great about yourself. Being a BollywoodFunk member also means being a part of this amazing dancing bollywood family who will always cheer and root for you!

I am soo glad to have found Bollywood funk classes in NYC. I grew up dancing on Bollywood songs but never got a chance to learn it from the professionals.

I took my beginner classes with Reme.

Her incredible energy and amazing choreo encouraged me to attend every class even after a bad day at work.

I really love their Naachexpress classes on Wednesday. It’s a great workout and so much fun to dance on Bollywood party songs.

Super excited to dance and learn more with Bfunk.

I moved to New York a year ago for my new job, and i was confused about whether I should focus on my new job or go to a dance class. I am glad that i made my mind about going to the class. A few sessions were enough for me to realize that i made the right choice of joining Bollywood FUNK. The realization came from the fact that no matter how bad or wrong you are, Ayesha, Sahil, Hitesh will always motivate and inspire you to keep improving in each session.

I always wanted to learn dance while growing up but never got a chance, but Bollywood Funk made it happen. Thank you for all your inspiration and motivation!!

“DANCE”- The WORD became my WORLD now. I was thinking of doing something to add on my Bucket List and DANCING was one of those few things, never danced before joining this School. As a New Yorker and a hardcore fan of Bollywood Movies, I ran my search on Google for checking BEST BOLLYWOOD DANCE CLASSES IN THE New York City. Guess what!! BOLLYWOOD FUNK NYC popped up, I watched few videos and checked the web site, and I joined for 5 Classes and had too much fun with dancing.

And Now I am a Part of this Dancing Family. They have cool instructors to teach always go smooth with the Beginners and Inspiring Every day, but Reme is my favorite Dance instructor. After office hours, Dancing is the best Activity to do, I guess. That makes me Happy.

Warm- ups and Performance Nights are my Favorite Parts. Funny thing is Every morning, I wake up with my Alarm tone with counting Five…Six…..Seven….Eight.. hahaha…

All in all, it is my journey from “I CAN’T DANCE TO I CAN DANCE.” Thank you, Bollywood Funk for the Great time.

I had been wanting to join Bollywood Funk for a while, cyber-following their choreographies. But having left dancing years back, I suffered from extremely low confidence, body image issues, a 2-year-old fractured knee and a 6 month old fractured hand. It was not helped by my work environment, which was traumatizing with the long hours, work load, low pay, and over expectations.
At one point, however, the temptation to dance grew and with every little ounce of confidence I could grab, I got myself to a class, albeit the back of the class. I began going to the Monday and Wednesday session; it gave me something to look forward to. These classes forced me to leave work at a normal 6pm, it gave me structure and discipline at work through the week as I had to plan the week so that I could make it to dance class. For the whole month I had a safe place 2 days a week, without my phone, without my colleagues, just Reme and the energy she exuded that takes you into another world where the song doesn’t matter, screw ups don’t matter, all that matters is your love for dance and the fun you bring into the class. Not only did Bollywood Funk motivate me to try harder and set fitness goals, the instructors also guide you on understanding the choreography and how each movement flows into the next. I learnt techniques that had me doing steps that I only previously wished I could.
4 weeks is all it took for me to move myself from the unrecognizable girl at the back of the class to a motivated enthusiastic dancer who couldn’t get enough of this learning experience. I have able to use this newfound motivation to fix my work life as well as push myself on my fitness goals to be able to bring more energy, crisper movements and transition from being a dancer, to a performer.

To all those who don’t know yesterday was my 5th ever performance night and I swear I went in feeling drained, ill, and basically exhausted out of my mind. But I came out the happiest person alive.
Starting out as an awkward turtle (only while dancing) I absolutely hated when a camera passed by when I danced- I would literally just stop and now there’s this so THANK YOU Bollywood Funk, as petrified as I still am, I think I’m also gaining some comfort level. Moving on to other things that Bollywood funk changed in my life- apart from the usual Cliches of “it’s a great work out”, “I felt refreshed after every class”, “it was a perfect channel for forgetting the world and removing all our frustration” etc etc. obviously Bfunk did all that but…
Y’all made me meet people that turned out to be some of my closest friends and I can’t imagine life without them!
Last but not the least these sickkk choreos! Which I promise I WILL do justice to one day. Keep inspiring!

Day 1 in New York, I saw a group dancing at Times Square. There, I asked myself “Can I also be there some day ?”. Well, so many thanks to Bollywoodfunk for making that happen.
I came across Bollywoodfunk while searching for flashmobs at Times square on Youtube. I used to watch dance videos on youtube and try to learn from them but wasn’t sure if I can go to a school and learn dancing, so I had to give it a try. I started with a 5-day class pass (typical Indian behaviour, haha) and danced on Aankh Maare and Husn hai suhana ( I still remember “Feelings”, they perform on all parts of the song,  ). I loved it so much, I had to switch to monthly subscription ( another reason, I had finished my 5-class pass in next 3 days  ) and soon Bfunk became a part of my daily routine. I met new people, made so many friends. It brought so much of happiness in me. Life was just no more 9-5, it had changed to 5-9 now.
It’s been close to an year now dacing with Bfunk. From dancing looking at the floor to dancing looking at the audience, from being nervous to being confident, from being hesitant to having a smile on face and enjoying it, I have learnt and grown a lot. And, the credit goes to our Bfunk instructors, who have always been a constant support, enthusiastic, motivating, guiding and providing feedback. They really see you dancing in the class, even if you think you are cleverly hiding at the back, they see you ( so, don’t try that  ). They put all their efforts to bring the best out of you, be it in terms of your posture, technique, expressions, energy or even a smile ( that’s the key as the instructors say, haha ).
Bfunk has a nice, curated way for their students to learn and grow. Learn choreo for a month and then showcase your skills at performance nights. I have personally found performance nights as the best way to throw away my hesitation of dancing infront of people ( with my glasses on, obviously ). It didn’t just stop at performance nights. I have been part of their dance videos, flashmob, and performed for a live audience. Thanks to Bfunk for providing me the opportunity. Looking forward to fun, exciting and challenging future choreos.
