Welcome back to another episode! In this episode, we chat with ⁠Swarali Karulkar⁠, aka Swara, a choreographer, movement therapist, and dance educator. She was born and raised in Mumbai, India, and moved to the US to pursue a career in dance therapy. She's the driving force behind ⁠BollyHeals⁠, NYC's premier dance wellness brand. In 2017, Swara introduced the transformative BollyHeals and BollyItems workshop series, combining her love for fusion dance styles, with her expertise in movement therapy. After testing her method across five different countries and 26 cities, she expanded it into the multidimensional brand known as BollyHeals.

In this conversation, Swara opens up about:

- how dance became a part of her life at a very young age

- the challenges she faced when she first moved to New York

- how she navigated getting her first job after grad school

- the source of her confidence and go-getter attitude

- how she started BollyHeals and a community around dance
