Our Team

Faria - Founder/Instructor

Faria is the founder & an instructor at BollyCardio ATX. A Bollywood dance teacher for over 10 years, Faria was dissatisfied with the Bollywood fitness options available in Austin & wanted to create one that truly combined the beauty of dance and fitness. You can find her lounging in a pool somewhere with a sparkling water in hand.
