Los Angeles-based choreographer and instructor Aakansha Maheshwari created BollyPop with the intention to spread happiness through dance. Growing up in India, Aakansha trained in various Indian dance forms—from ancient classical dance of the temples to gypsy folk dance of the snake charmer community. Aakansha has spent years training with the masters and brings different styles together in her program, BollyPop, which is currently offered in California, Utah, and India. She has choreographed for The Academy Museum, Clippers games, LA Kings games, and was one of the choreographers of Disney’s Freakier Friday. Her business was recently selected as one of the six Asian businesses in Los Angeles to be featured in a Google commercial. Aakansha works with a few non-profit organizations in India and spends time with children in underprivileged communities, teaching dance and music. Her devotion to her art is solely for the purpose of spreading happiness.
