Your new weekly Bollywood dance party in LA.
This isn’t a class—it’s a vibe. Move, sweat, and celebrate to a live DJ every week in a high-energy, follow-along Bollywood dance experience designed for all levels (yes, even “I don’t dance” dancers). Led by Achinta Sawhny McDaniel, the OG Bollywood dance master credited with introducing Los Angeles to Bollywood 25 years ago, Mad Hot Bollywood brings legacy, swagger, and pure joy to the dance floor. Backing the heat is a playlist of nonstop Bollywood bangers that keep the room pulsing and the energy sky-high.
Expect:

Sexy, joyful movement
A welcoming, judgment-free dance floor
Real Indian dopeness, no performative nonsense
A room full of grown-ups dancing like nobody’s watching

Liquid courage is available (but never required). Come as you are—leave sweaty, smiling, and a little obsessed.
Mad Hot Bollywood: where LA comes to dance, glow, and feel damn good.
