If you’re looking for a way to stay active, meet new people, and embrace the vibrant culture of Bollywood all at once, then Bollywood Fitness Classes with Mevy in Highams Park could be exactly what you need. Running every Thursday throughout Juneβ€”on the 5th, 12th, 19th, and 26thβ€”these high-energy sessions combine the fun of dance with the benefits of a full-body workout, all within a supportive and women-only environment. Taking place at the conveniently located All Saints Church on Church Avenue, London E4 9QZ, these sessions are open to women of all ages and fitness levels.

These Bollywood-inspired dance classes are not your typical gym workout. Led by the charismatic and experienced instructor Mevy, each class fuses traditional and modern Bollywood dance moves with cardio and toning exercises, creating a unique fitness experience that feels more like a party than a workout. The use of upbeat Indian music makes the hour fly by, helping participants burn calories, improve coordination, and boost their moodβ€”all while having fun.


What sets Mevy’s Bollywood Fitness Classes apart is their focus on inclusivity and empowerment. Mevy has built a strong community of women who support and encourage each other to be active, confident, and joyful. Whether you’re dancing for your health, for cultural connection, or simply for the sheer enjoyment of it, you’ll find a place where you can move freely and feel good doing it.

Each class is carefully structured to include a warm-up, high-energy dance sequences, and a cool-down, ensuring a safe and effective workout. The choreography is easy to follow and adaptable, making it accessible to both beginners and experienced dancers. You don’t need any prior dance experienceβ€”just a willingness to move, smile, and enjoy the music.

The venue, All Saints Church in Highams Park, provides a welcoming and comfortable setting, easily accessible by public transport and with plenty of local amenities nearby. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable fitness clothing and bring water to stay hydrated during the session.

Bollywood Fitness with Mevy is more than just exerciseβ€”it’s a celebration of culture, community, and self-expression. As health and well-being continue to be priorities for many, this class offers an enjoyable alternative to traditional fitness routines and a space to connect with like-minded women.

Spaces are limited and classes often sell out, so advance booking is highly recommended. Secure your place and find out more at www.eventbrite.co.uk.

Join the movement, feel the beat, and discover the joy of Bollywood fitness this June in Highams Park.
