Love for Indian culture in general has tended to be born in cinemas. The desire to learn how to dance the national dances of India arose thanks to such actresses-dancers as Jaya Prada, Rekha, Hema Malini, etc. It was their professional and brilliant mastery of the art of dance that led many fans to dance schools in this exotic country.
Hema Malini
Hema Malini has millions of fans in our country. The most popular folk titles of this actress are "dream girl" and "Indian Marilyn Monroe". In many ways, these epithets relied on the external data of the actress, on beauty filled with charm, sexuality, tenderness. However, Hema Malini stood out on the Olympus of the Bollywood celestials, thanks to her dancing talent.
Hema Malini began to master the classical dance Bharat-Natyam at the age of 6. (Information differs, according to other sources at the age of 4 years.) As a dancer, she first appeared on the cinema stages of South India. Russian viewers remembered her from the films Zita and Gita, Samraat, Revenge and Law, Treasures of the Ancient Temple, etc. The actress easily used elements of classical dance in numerous dance numbers of her film stories. She was distinguished by organic plasticity, whether it was dancing on the market square ("Zita and Gita"), on the stage ("My Fair Dancer") and even on glass ("Revenge and the Law").
Today Hema Malini is the director and teacher of his own Indian dance academy. Both her daughters Esha and Ahana also own the Bharat-Natyam dance style.
Rekha
Rekha has become a symbol of classic beauty for many generations of fans of her talent. Despite the fact that this actress grew up in the cinema halls of South India, the path to the cinema Olympus was a thorny one for her. No information was found that she graduated from dance school, but her talent for dancing was fully expressed in her works. For her role in the film "Dear Umrao" Rekha was awarded numerous national film awards. In it, the actress brilliantly performed dance numbers in the Mujra style, known as the dance of the courtesans. She easily succeeded in disco numbers and folk dances.
Jaya Prada
Jaya Prada's repertoire includes over 300 films. Russian audiences remember her from the films "Rhythms of the Dance" with Rishi Kapoor and "Photo in a Wedding Album" with Kamalahassan, in which her talent as a dancer was fully realized. Jaya Prada has mastered several styles of classical Indian dance, including Bharat-Natyam. This actress was distinguished by her fidelity to the classics, precision of dance movements and artistry.
Shri Devi
Sri Devi belongs to the generation of the 80s. The actress, who has starred in Indian films since the age of 4, left the stars in 1997. The film "Artist" won the hearts of Russians, despite the tragic end of this love story. The analogy with "Romeo and Juliet" through the beam went through the entire storyline. Russian audiences admired Shri Devi's dancing talent in connection with the film Chandni, where the actress's comedic gift was revealed.
Madhuri Dixit
Madhuri Dixit was called the Queen of Kathak. This dance style belongs to North India. It combines the traditions of Hindu temple dance art and the traditions of the Mughal court.
Russian viewers met Madhuri in the late 80s with the release of the movie "Ram and Lakhan". The non-standard appearance of the actress divided the fans into two camps: those who loved her unconditionally, and those who did not perceive at all. However, both of them agreed that Madhuri was a professional dancer. A technical, artistic, sweet girl, according to critics, generally shared the cinematic era of Indian cinema. After the film "Devdas" a new stage in the development of Indian cinematography began. The era of Aishwarya Rai began.
Aishwarya Rai
Aishwaryu Rai - actress number 1, is known today by the entire world film community. She is filmed not only in India, American and French filmmakers use her in the main roles. The red carpet of the world film festivals welcomes this beauty, gifted in every respect. She echoed Rekha's success in the 2006 sequel, Dear Umrao, about the life of the legendary 19th century poet and dancer.
Diligence and loyalty to the acting profession allows Aishwarya Rai to be realized in any style of dance.
