Dance In Bollywood

In Indian movies dance is vital as the story. This is so because in India whether you are old or young, good or bad everybody can dance. It’s a nice way to relax and so people want to both watch and dance to catchy tunes. Due to this movies which don’t even have a need for a dance song introduce one in one way or the other. In the past every movie had a female negative lead or the vamp that would wear skimpy colorful clothes and dance for the villains. This brings to mind vamps like Helen, Bindu and Aruna Irani. These dancing divas had a style of their own. Helen was famous for songs like Monica Oh My Darling and Yeh mera dil. Then dancing became a group affair and everybody was expected to dance.

There was an era when dancing was only done by the women. Soon the men were expected to shake a leg too. This was a waterloo for many action heroes. Stars like Dharmendra and his son Sunny Deol are terrible dancers and is very obvious when they dance. Then came in stars like Amitabh, Jeetendra and Rajesh Khanna who could dance something if not very well. It was Mithun Chakraborty who took the stage at that time. He did movies based on dance like Disco Dancer and brought in the disco craze into the country. Dancing then moved to another high when stars like Amir, Salman and Shah Rukh came in. The new generation of actors were all natural dancers. But let’s not forget to give credit to some actors who were not very good dancers but worked very hard to make it big in the dance industry. Topping this chart will be Saif Ali Khan and apna Big B. Saif was called the star with two left feet but after Oole Oole he changed his image completely. Just look at Amitabh Bachchan in Chali Chali or Rock and roll soniye and he will teach you how dance your way gracefully, stylishly and youthfully to success.
