bollyflow at Speakeasy
bollyflow is an austin based desi-fusion dance company started by 5 friends, Monika, Anushka, Bhavya, Thanusha and Alekhya. We all started dancing at a young age and overtime our interest and passion grew as some of us became technically trained in different styles, joined professional Bollywood dance companies, and participated in competitive collegiate dance teams. After college, there were fewer opportunities to exercise this passion, and a dance-sized hole began to form. From there, ideating led to reality, and bollyflow was born.
Our mission for bollyflow is to share our creativity and talent with the local Austin and virtual community. We sensed a need for more South Asian dance presence, performers for community events, in-person/virtual customized instruction for wedding/event choreography and workshops/classes. Dance is a huge part of South Asian culture, so we wanted to provide a platform to celebrate our culture in the best way we know.
