Top 10 best male dancers of Bollywood

The song and dance routine is the forte of Indian Cinema. If love is in the air, there needs to be a song; a misunderstanding, break into a song; a break up, sing a song; well you get the picture right? Many a times you might have also seen that the fate of a film does not really impact the fate of the music in that film. There are some movies that you would rather forget but the songs have been memorable! Its a double whammy if the choreography is a treat to watch. With all due respect to the choreographers. the end result of a music video is purely based on the way a song has been picturised and performed. And thankfully, Bollywood has some amazing dancers.










This is a list of MY favourite bollywood dancers (male). Let me know if you liked. Thanks for stop by!


10. JEETENDRA

Jeetendra, The Jumping Jack was one of those few men in industry who could make the classical dance moves and chest heaving look very manly! "Dhal gaya din ho gayi sham" with Babita and "naino mein sapna" with Sridevi, who can ever forget the videos of these songs!




9. RISHI KAPOOR

Why him? Ask your mother!









8. AKSHAY KUMAR
This man is brilliant in doing stunts. So he adds some stunts while dancing, that makes him one of the best live performers in Bollywood.







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







6. SHAHID KAPOOR
A student of the Shiamak Davar Dance Academy, Shahid was earlier seen as a background dancer in the movie 'Taal'. Showed his brilliant dancing skills in debut movie 'ishk vishk', but took his talent to a different level with a lot of 'oomph' in later movies.






5. JAAVED JAFFERY
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 man moonwalked his way up north, calling someone spineless actually became a good thing. An unbelievable contortionist and choreographer. A splendid performance in 'Muqabla muqabla'. What did you just say? He's not from Bollywood? just watch 'Que sera sera'. Peace.








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









2. SHAMMI KAPOOR
Today, its all about the routine choreography but there was a time when it was the instincts of an actor while listening to the songs that transformed into steps of the dance. Shammi Kapoor, the man whose dance moves we still love to watch. The bobbling of the head, those one legged movements was the trademark steps of the 'larger than life' Shammi Kapoor. Remember 'Aaja aaja' and 'Yahhooo'?





1. HRITHIK ROSHAN
Wow! No surprise, since his Bollywood innings has been characterised by hit songs, trendsetting steps, and feet that can burn up a discotheque. Go Hrithik! As the years passed by, dance became all about technical details, proper finish and attitude. And the man responsible for that- Hrithik Roshan! He proved that men can be as flexible as women and yet look extremely stylish and manly. I don't need to give examples, do I?
