Review from Nadir H.

Wow, Loved this place. Attended the DhooniyaFIT class. Never thought Bollywood dance can be so great for work out. Equal or more perspiration as a fitness class. Amazing music. Spacious. Nice teachers. Wat else required. Totally nice. Also they had the latest music. Mixed "Kolaveri Di rap " with Bhangra. Sounded great.
I also liked it that whenever I called to get more info, the phone usually connected with Priya who is the main person and she is very nice in answering the questions. Oh I wish them lots of success.
Here is where I will take all the folks who come visit me (to exhaust them ) and it surely is a memorable gift... -

I had an AMAZING time coming for classes at Dhoonya Dance. My friend bought a groupon for me and we came for four classes. It was something different and I had never done bollywood before. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up loving it. It's a great work out! If you want to learn a choreographed dance, do the Basics. If you're looking for a GREAT cardio workout that's a little more fast paced, try the Techniques. I live in Brooklyn & it was totally worth the shlep. I can't wait to show off my new dance moves when I visit India haha :)

Review from nancy y.

Came here one morning for a Bollywood dance class and really enjoyed it. Beautiful studio in a great location, with just the right number of people in each class (about 10-12). The hour lesson was only $10 and our instructor was very knowledgable and fun. I'm pretty uncoordinated most of the time but it was very easy following her steps and dance moves while getting into the rhythm. The Bollywood dances were a little challenging physically - some people in the room were sweating and had to take breaks, but I didn't think it was rigorous enough (they market it as burning ~800 calories in an hour) - didn't feel my muscles burning or anything, but maybe that wasn't the point of the class. Good workout on the calves and the shoulders - felt a little sore the next day which was good since I never workout those areas. Would highly recommend this!

After I suffered an injury and had to quit the Bollywood dance troupe I was a part of, I started taking the Dhoonya Basics on Wednesdays with Priya as a way of easing back into Bollywood dancing. The dancers of Dhoonya are very talented and I've been very impressed by the performances I have seen from them. I think the Basics class is a perfect class for beginners who are either new to Bollywood or new to dance. Priya is a great teacher and she breaks down the moves and explains everything very well. Ultimately, this class is intended as a basic introduction to Bollywood and those who want something more challenging should take the techniques classes offered by Dhoonya.

I scheduled a private class for 14 friends to learn a Bollywood dance to perform at a wedding. Our instructor Sunita was fantastic--approachable, clear, encouraging, and a lot of fun. In addition, I found everyone at Dhoonya to be extremely professional to work with--always responding to my questions before the class in a prompt way and suggesting possible songs to suit our event. I can't recommend the ladies of Dhoonya Dance highly enough and can't wait to attend their regular classes.

I've been an avid fan of Bollywood films for a while now, and was so pleased to find a place that offers great Bollywood dance instruction. All of my fears and insecurities went away during my very first class, where our instructor Punita was very friendly and encouraging. She welcomes questions, and takes her time in explaining the steps and movements. She also explained what dance movements were meant to convey, and the facial expressions and sentiment that are so important for performance techniques of Bollywood dance. The price is also great at $60 for 4 classes. It's been a great workout too! I highly recommended this class to beginners and trained dancers alike to awaken your inner Bollywood star!
