NOWADAYS each and every song in a movie looks almost the same, says dancing queen Saroj Khan, who’s currently part of Nachle Ve with Saroj Khan, a reality show on television. Some years back this was not the case, the choreographer asserts. Each song had its own unique steps; for example, take the Dhak Dhak song by Madhuri. The scenario has changed in the past four-five years. "I feel that we should have different songs with different movements and steps. We have such a rich culture but we are just aping the West. We should stick to our roots and incorporate forms like folk, bhangra, etc in mainstream choreography." And what’s her take on reality shows? The choreographer admits that reality shows make a lot of impact on the audience. "Everyone wishes to be a dancer and is learning dance. A reality show made housewife Tina (TV actor Hussain’s wife) a dancer. I think it helped her grow as a dancer. I remember the blindfold dance of Nach Baliye 2, which is not an easy task even for the professionals. Despite being a non-dancer, she did it. Therefore, I am in favour of reality shows." Saroj says aspiring choreographers should come up with something new every time. They should be creative in their steps. They shouldn’t use common dance steps. To make a mark in the industry, they should make use of our rich Indian culture in their choreography. — TWF
