Today, to be a complete package, just being able to act well isn’t enough for an actor in Bollywood. We want entertainment, and more specifically, a lot of singing and dancing in the movies. While singing is well taken care of, dancing is a genre that needs to be mastered. While Hrithik and Shahid bowl us over with their skills, there are quite a few actors out there who desperately need dancing classes!

He’s gone on to admit in interviews that he hates dancing, but we suggest learning it might be a good idea! He can deliver dialogues with charisma, balance himself on two separate vehicles but just not dance. Maybe wife Kajol, who isn’t the best at it but definitely way better, should chip in with some tips and tricks!
Salman Khan

His movies might be super hits, but when it comes to dance, he has a clever tactic of doing one trademark step for each song. Think swag se swagat, or the belt moving step inDabangg. Well, it gets really monotonous and we want more! Think of an action packed movie, with a killer plot and Salman dancing well! We really couldn’t ask for more.
Sonam Kapoor

Fashion icon Sonam Kapoor, has stayed away from much dancing as much as she could. Aisha saw her do some very simple latkas and jhatkas, but that’s about it. Being the style diva she is coupled with the acting prowess displayed in Neerja, she will be quite the bomb if she can dance well too!
Kalki

Kalki may act well but dancing isn’t really her forte. Think of Balam pichkari or badtameez dil, and you’ll see how she’s conveniently in the corner not doing much of the great steps. Her best movies like Margarita with a straw and others don’t even m=involve dance tracks. While some of these are great, we wouldn’t mind seeing this bold actor shake a leg sometimes too!
Huma Qureshi

Huma Qureshi might have the sass and the looks, but she can’t really dance. We love her killer expression with the sunglass in O Womaniya, but we would love to see her let her hair down sometime! The closest she could go to shaking a leg is in Yaaram, but that is the basic twirling and grooving.

In Dhoom or Dostana, all good dance sequences were enough to prove that this guy just has two left feet. He lacks the charisma which pulled his father through such situations, and the songs look hilarious when he tries to dance! He should learn a thing or two from his ever graceful wife who wowed us in Dola re and many other dance numbers.
Dance numbers are a necessity to make a film come alive. It is necessary for all the hundred promotions, award shows and other entertaining attractions that these actors sign up for. A little beat and rhythm injected into their bodies and they’ll soon be doing well! With Bollywood brimming with many new talented choreographers, this is an arena that can and should improve quickly.
