Duniya ke sabse boring World Cup final main Shakiraji ko Waka Waka karte dekha kya? Kya kamal ka waist action hai unka, Shilpa Shettyji ki takkar ka. You know, I can’t resist dance shows, especially the ones with a high Bollywood-celeb quotient. Hamare desi dance shows main there are latkas, jhatkas and, when the muse is Jeetuji,
some matkas as well. So I got very depressed when Zara Nachke Dikha (Star Plus) finished. But good news yeh hai that Massakali Girls won the trophy and Mastkalandar Boys had to swallow their pride, shake their booty and say, “Jahanpana, tussi great ho”. The show’s finale, apart from the silly anchoring by TV ke nobodies, was jhakaas. Shilpaji performed Rekha’s number from Umrao Jaan and Aishwarya’s item from Bunty Aur Babli. Funny-boy Arshad Warsi did his stylish dancing while tossing his wife in air. They looked very sweet, much in love.
Zara Nachke... ki yaad main maine apni Top 10 dance numbers ki list banai hai. Take a look:
Appadi Pode (Ghilli, Tamil): Hai! Kya dhansoo dance number hai yeh. But before you set out to even attempt it, drop all your inhibitions. This one requires full chichora action. So make faces, thrust, pulse, be besharam.
Nakka Mukka (Kathalil Vizhuntheen, Tamil): This is completely mental dancing and requires two-three mental persons for optimum mazaa. If you can master this mad dance, get even half of it right, you will be the Bhagwanji of the dance floor. Just make sure your hip joints are lubricated.
Maine Paidal Se Ja Ra Tha: Because there is no dance party without a Govinda song. Just do the Govinda thing with the best shimmy you can manage.
Jahan Teri Yeh Nazar Hai: This Amitabh Bachchan classic is an all-time favourite and gets everybody on the dance floor, all doing the quintessential AB step.
Raat ke Dhai Baje: Heave, heave, heave while making naughty-nakhara expressions.
Kajra Re: This one requires proper steps, with nazakat, adaa and lots of sexy vibes. I prefer doing the Abhishek-in-fits part, serenading item with sau-ka-note in mouth...
Beedi: Another sure-shot to get everybody on the dance floor. All you have to do is follow this Bollywood shaking mantra: Chest-chest-hip-hip, chest-chest-hip-hip. Can’t? Just do the pulling patang-ka-manja action.
Aaja Aaja Main Hoon Pyaar Tera: Shammi Kapoor and Asha Parekh. What more can I say?
Aao Twist Karen: Pay homage to our Anglo-Indian ancestors and do the gentle twist in flouncy skirts.
Aajkal Tere Mere Pyar ke Charche: If you have that Mumtaz sari and can do the shaking neck-and-hand action while pouting, you deserve a round of applause.
