Episode 1: Jagriti

…and that person immediately just looked me up and down and said, “aren't you too fat to be a dancer?” And he just said it like that. I just love to dance…I feel so incredibly alive when I’m dancing and I won't give that up for anything.

About Episode 1: Jagriti

Meet Jagriti.

Her love of movement began when she was four years old, watching Bollywood movies upstairs in front of the TV while her parents were busy in their Indian restaurant downstairs.

As an adult, after working on Bollywood film projects in India, she returned to Australia almost a decade ago and started a dance business. 

In this honest and revealing interview, Jagriti talks about her love for Bollywood dancing, how it makes her feel, the ups and down’s she’s faced, and how coronavirus has impacted her business and life.

Check out Jagriti’s at home Bollywood dance class here.
