Bollywood’s Best Dancers!

Here’s a look at some of the film industry folk who can really burn up the dance floor:

10. Shah Rukh Khan

It isn’t often that SRK edges in at the very bottom of a popularity list, but just goes to show that King Khan still has some way to go, at least as far as grooving is concerned.

9. Akshay Kumar
With his films making over Rs 1 billion, Akki’s sure on a high. One of the most energetic dancers around, Akshay’s considered one of the best live performers in Bollywood.

8. Sridevi
From making love to the camera in Mr India to counting her bangles with us in Chandni, the classically trained Sridevi’s always been a fabulous mover.

7. Mithun Chakravarty
Eii! Mithun-da ushered in the eighties with his pelvis grooving to disco beats. One of the most iconic dancers ever.

6. Govinda
Chi-chi handled the most audacious and unthinkable of steps with a naive charm that made audiences smile, sometimes despite themselves. A great dancer who loved having fun with his talent.

5. Javed Jaffrey
One of the country’s pioneering breakdancers, Javed brought in modern moves and international styling to the generic Bollywood beats. One helluva performer.

4. Prabhudeva
When this dude moonwalked his way up north, calling someone spineless actually became a good thing. An unbelievable contortionist and choreographer.

3. Helen
Ah, the diva. Helen was a Bollywood institution, a gorgeous performer who made heroes sweat nervously before item-girls were even born. Everything she danced to remains a classic.

2. Madhuri Dixit
Over the last two decades, however, it’s the Ek do teen girl who has had us at her mercy, gasping at her Dhak-dhaking heart and peering into her Choli. Surely one of the finest performers of all time.
