About BollyWorks
When BollyWorks was created over a decade over, there was a non-existent Bollywood dance scene here. Since then, we've brought the joy of Bollywood dance to 1000s of students, in classes, on stage, & transformed the local Bollywood dance scene.
Having pioneered Bollywood dance instructor training programs to help make Bollywood dance more accessible. Many of the city's instructors, & dance studios, and gym Bollywood instructors have been certified, trained & follow the BollyWorks method from near and afar.
All our instructors are trained in-house, and will help you get started with your dance journey. Question is, when are you starting?
The BollyWorks Team
These superhumans are the heart and soul of BollyWorks. Each of them started off as a student - just like you & crossed over to train & teach with us.

When not dancing, she runs her full-time yoga studio, trains yoga teachers, hosts a weekly yoga podcast & mentors other yoga & fitness instructors.
Sandy Mathews
Sandy has been a part of BollyWorks since we opened a decade ago. She spent years as a student indulging in her passion for dance & fitness. It was her 'outlet' from her IT job and being a mom. Today, Sandy has been teaching our fitness format for a few years. Her students enjoy her high-spirited energy, her sense of humor, the cardio burn they get from her classes. You can dance with her at our Redmond location.
Tessa Wynn
Tessa joined BollyWorks as a dancer for our Project Bollywood performances back in 2019. Her passion for Bollywood dance grew quickly and strongly. She made it her life's mission to learn the ins and outs of Bollywood dance since then. Today, Tessa is a testament that if you put your mind to it - Bollywood dance can be for everyone. Her classes are fun, energetic, and the perfect pick me up at the end of the day. When not dancing, she's a mom of 3, enjoys reading, hiking and indulging in her hobbies. She teaches at our Bellevue location.
Smitha S Reddy
Smitha started dance as a child exploring a classical style called Bharatnatyam. That's when she fell in love with dance. She reconnected with her dance passion when BollyWorks started training instructors to make Bollywood more accessible in the local area. Having been with us since 2018, Smitha's classes are always filled with fun tracks, new songs and a good workout session. She teaches at Redmond & Kirkland. When not dancing, she's busy with her IT career, being a mom & exploring new fitness formats.
Sarayu Rao
Sarayu has been dancing since she was little and has done various types of Indian dance. She started her dance journey with Bharatnatyam at 7yrs old and recently competed on a raas/garba team in college. After moving to Seattle, she wanted to find a way to stay involved with dancing and joined BollyWorks. Outside of dance she enjoys cooking, baking, and exploring the outdoor activities Seattle has to offer.
Jamie Meeks
Jamie Meeks is our hidden superhero. As our studio manager, she makes sure everything on the backend works with ease. So anytime you need any of your non-dance requests handled you'll hear us say, "ask Jamie" often.
