The Bollypop class on Wednesdays at 6PM with Aakansha is pure joy! If youve ever fantasized about being a back-up dancer for your favorite pop artist then Bollypop is the cardio dance class for you. Bollypop is basically a heart-pounding hybrid of traditional Indian folk dances with the colorful styles made popular by Indian films. The teacher is also the actual creator of this unique style!Aakanshas joyful spirit is infectious and even as a complete beginner, I feel welcomed and encouraged in her class at Varieties International. Before she teaches the choreography for a new dance, I love that she translates the song lyrics to English. Come solo or bring a few friends to experience the magic of Bollywood!!Pro Tips:- Limited parking, so come early to get a spot- Follow bollypopla on Instagram so you can see all the latest class news and schedule on when ell be at Varieties International

Truly a classy old school dance instructor, Tony is so genuine and kind and a patient teacher, had a great time at our last two dance instruction classes on east coast swing! Love it be back next weekend!

We just did an intro swing class with Tony. He’s a great teacher. Very patient and encouraging. Wife and I had a lot of fun and met some great people!

LOVE Varieties International! My husband and I originally started taking wedding dance lessons before we got married, and almost ten years later, it was so much fun, were still doing it! Tony, the owner, is a fantastic teacher--Ive been to a few other dance lessons at other studios in Santa Monica and found him much easier to learn from, and his classes are more affordable to boot. Hes also a character and a great guy with an amazing backstory, from designing the original costumes for the Chippendales dancers to being a cruise ship entertainer. Classes are small, so you get a lot of personal attention. And Tony really knows his stuff, from foxtrot to salsa to waltz to country-western line dancing--you name it, he does it. Highly recommend!

@Mr.Sniffy: A classy place to slip on those dance shoes and build your confidence without pressure. Take a twirl on the dance floor with Tony. A true treat! Easy parking. Stop by for the parties on select Fridays.
