Khushi - Instructor
Khushi is a recent film graduate & dance fitness instructor at BollyCardio ATX. Her love for Bollywood started early and has shaped both her passion for dance & her creative journey. While she’s explored styles like hip hop, contemporary, & even aerial silks, Bollywood dance has always felt like home. In college she was part of Texas Dhoom—UT Austin’s non-competitive dance team. When she’s not dancing, you’ll find her filming beauty tutorials, styling outfits, or capturing memories from her travels on camera!
