Bollywood is not just about lavish sets or shooting on exotic locations or showing bold and glamorous heroines. Outside India, Bollywood is famous for its dance and songs. Dance is among the most important part of the movie. In most Bollywood movies, there are at least about four songs. Thankfully, the industry is blessed with quite a few talented actors, who can not only emote well but also dance so well they set the stage on fire with their moves.
As Munna Michael hits the screen, we present to you the best dancers of Bollywood.
Tiger Shroff
Just two films old, Tiger Shroff has already carved a niche for himself in regard to dancing and stunts. The acrobatic actor even combines the two for our viewing pleasure. Often compared to Hrithik Roshan (whom he openly admires) for his dance moves, we definitely can’t get enough of his fluid moves!
Prabhu Deva
Dance legend in Bollywood, he is an actor, director and choreographer. Apart from that, he can set the stage on fire from his moves.
Hrithik Roshan
The undeniable hunk who is mostly referred to as India’s very own Adonis is not just a classy actor but also so good on the dance floor; women swoon just looking at him move. His body is fluid and he combines grace and power to deliver unforgettable dance numbers.
Mithun Chakraborty
The original disco dancer of the country, Mithun Da, shot to fame for his dance moves especially to disco numbers. And he did this in various films, and each of them are popular to this day. He continues to star as a judge for dance reality shows to this day.
Govinda
Yet another actor who rose to fame for break dance, but developed a rather unique style of his own on the dance floor. Most modern day entrants in Bollywood refer to his skills on the dance floor as an inspiration.
Javed Jaffrey
This might have surprised you, but Javed Jaffrey is well known in the industry for his break-dance move.
Sridevi
The gorgeous actress is not just a talented actress but also known for her magical dancing style. Be it Western or classical, the diva did it with ease.
Shahid Kapoor
Among the most popular students of Shiamak Davar, Shahid Kapoor was initially seen as a part of the dance troupe on the film Taal. He has indeed come a long way since then, the recently married star is not just an excellent actor but also a stunning dancer.
Madhuri Dixit
The Dancing Queen of India, Madhuri Dixit took the Indian Silver Screen by storm in 1987 with her dance number ‘Ek Do Teen’. The song catapulted her to super-stardom and she went on to do some of the greatest cult dance numbers in Bollywood’s history.
Helen
What sets Helen apart from the hordes of talented dancers of her times is not just her fatally gorgeous looks, but also her bold sensuous moves when she introduced Cabaret as a dance form in Bollywood.
