Derived from two Indian words—“Masala,” which means spicy in Hindi, and “Bhangra,” which is a traditional folk dance from the northern state of Punjab, India—this fitness program modernizes the high-energy folk dance by blending traditional Bhangra dance steps with the exhilaration of Bollywood moves. The movement is easy to follow and can be modified to the comfort level of any student, making it accessible to all.
This class is open to all levels.
