Hema Malini

This name is the first one that comes to our mind and no list is complete without her on it when it comes to the dancers of Bollywood. Dream Girl Hema Malini is one of the best classical dancers in the Hindi film industry. She is a trained Bharatanatyam dancer whose daughters Esha Deol and Ahana Deol are trained Odissi dancers.

Rani Mukerji

We bet you did not know that Rani Mukerji is a trained Odissi dancer! Yes, she learnt the dance form while in the tenth grade. A high profile celeb, Rani Mukerji can act, look at "Black" and is a graceful dancer as well.

Madhuri Dixit

This name is as obvious as that of Hema Malini. Madhuri Dixit, with a smile which can light up the sky, has grace like no one and her moves are famous from metro cities to villages. Like they say "bachcha bachcha jaanta hai". Best known as the “Dancing Queen of Bollywood” who has created magic with her moves, her acting prowess has not gone unseen either. Be it western or classical, this Kathak trained actress has always won our hearts.

Sayani Gupta

Did you know actress Sayani Gupta, who was seen in Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif starrer 'Jagga Jasoos' has been training in Kathak since the past 14 years?

Radhika Apte

I have known her as an actress but what was equally zapped as you are that she has trained in Kathak and also Contemporary Dance from London. Maybe that is because she is not a fan of dancing around trees or item numbers or she has been stereotyped because her deliverables are no nonsense cinema,m with a message. But we sure would love to see her show off some moves some day.
