Dance in Bollywood Movie - The dance scenes are derived from varieties of Indian dance: Kathak classical dance of courtesans tawaif, Bharata Natyam, Bhangra and folk dance. In the most recent films, the choreography has changed considerably now dances give way to modern Western dance (disco, salsa, Hip Hop, Break Dance). The choreographers are themselves highly valued such as Saroj Khan, Farah Khan or Prabhu Deva, Shiamak Davar, Ganesh Hegde and Bosco Caesar and the success of a film often depends on their presence.
The hero or heroine never dance alone: there is always a band or a chorus of dancers or dancers accompanying them to create a mass effect, enhanced by a panoramic field or a few extras are added, almost as an elements of the decor. These scenes are very careful and often require actors to change costumes or multiple places called picturisation.
