The legendary Indian actor Megestar Mithun Chakraborty is known as the one of the best dancers of this planet as a matter of fact. He has gifted us many hit and quality films in Hindi, Bengali, Bhojpuri, Oddiya etc. All most each and every song of those films is very popular till date. And among those of very popular songs, many songs are dance numbers actually.

Dance Dance was one of the hit films of Mithun, which proved the dancing skill and capability of the Dancing star as well as one of the Megastars of Hindi Film Industry Mithun Chakraborty. There is a song in this film (Dance Dance )’super dancer’. And there is a specific line in this particular song - ‘yeh oh kala hai jo hai sab se juda’(this is an art, which is totally different from the others indeed). Yes it is very true. Dance is an art form and totally different from others. It is really an unique art form over and out.

When we dance, our bodies move in order to music and follow the rhythms too.

Dance is connected with every walk and aspect of life. With the help of dance, a person can express his or her emotion very smoothly(remember the mythological story of the Tandav nrityya of Lord Shiva). It helps to realise any kind of emotion very easily.

Dance helps to form the body beautifully. It helps to remove some types of deformities too. For these reasons dance is using as a therapy (dance therapy) as a matter of fact.

Dance can help us to connect our souls with God(remember the Devdasi pratha of south India).

Some of the sports like synchronized swimming, gymnastics, figure skating etc are incorporate dance. And, some of the martial arts are compared to dances.

Dancing has different types of style indeed; such as the Ballet, the Ballroom, the Waltz and the Tango are the classical styles of dance, the Breakdancing and the Krumping are very much related to the hip hop culture, the Electric Slide and the Square are the different forms of the step dances and the dances of Africa are very much interpretive indeed.

Dance has different functional movements, like folk dance, virtuoso techniques,like ballet.

In the entertainment industry of our great country India, the dance has a very important role as a matter of fact. In Bollywood (the Hindi Film Industry) only, near about 3oo films are made in a year. Each of the films has minimum 5 songs. So we the viewers of the Hindi films are compelled to watch near about 1500 film songs in a year.

And among these 1500 film songs, maximum songs are dance numbers in reality.

We have viewed and have been viewing many dance reality shows in different tv channels of our country.

We have been watching the dance reality show ‘Aja Nach Le’on the tv channel named mh 1 since few Weeks,every Wednes day and Thurs day at 8 pm.

This dance reality show ‘Aja Nach Le’is slidely different from others. Some times they are not using the film songs. Even, some times the contestants are dancing with only music and no song. We are watching different types of dancing too. In this show, people are trying to maintain the guru - shishya parampara also.

We must appreciate these things.
