SM Bollywood Dance Class

Vibey, energetic and loads of fun, Bollywood dance classes are a great way to keep fit – and sure to leave you feeling energized, with a little extra sparkle in your step!

Bollywood dance instructor Suvina offers both Bollywood dance and Bollyfit classes at the FITPOD Studios and, as the general manager of the Ballito Lifestyle Centre’s Toast restaurant, she is a well-known member of the North Coast community.  

Having started dancing more than 27 years ago, at the age of six, Suvina studied both ballet and Indian classical dancing until she was 16. After that, she decided to focus on Indian classical, graduating in the Bharata Natyam dance form. As an only child, Suvina’s parents encouraged her to try new things and supported her interest in more contemporary dance styles as well. Suvina performed in her first Playhouse Production, Dancing On The Volcano, when she was 16 years old. She did a BA degree in Dance and Drama at UKZN and then joined the Flatfoot Dance Company, freelancing in various productions. Her ‘big break’ came when she was selected to be a Sharks rugby dancer. She was crowned Miss India SA KZN in the same year.

Alongside her dancing career, Suvina has worked in the hospitality industry since she was 18 years old, managing admin and front-of-house for a number of top North Coast restaurants. Suvina’s greatest joy is dancing. “I love everything about Bollywood dancing – the fitness, the music, the vibes. And I love sharing it with others.”

Her Bollywood dance classes are aimed at those who already have a bit of technique and would like to improve, and the Bollyfit classes are open to anyone who enjoys the music and wants to learn to move their body, get fit and have fun!
