imo..rekha is the queen for mujra's. i loved madhur's mujras in devdas, but lets not forget the money and time spent on her costumes, and hours of rehearsals, and what not to bring the perfection.

but rekha, watch her mujras in muqaddar ka sikandar , suhaag and umrao jaan.

i also loved meena kumari's work in pakeezah. but i heard when she passed away sujaata completed her work. i don't know if sujaata also done some mujras for pakeezah.

Though Rekha is not a professional dancer but she is a very good kathak dancer & that's why she is d best when come to mujra's & mujra's are only part of kathak.But still rekha manages to perform all typs of dances who can forget kais paheli from parineeta & a seducing dance with akshay kumar from khiladiyon ka khiladi.

Another actress, not sure if she is counted among the best classically trained dancer/actresses, but this is Revathy (who plays Alia's mother in Two states) from a little known tamil film called 'Vaidehi Kathirunthal'

I have no knowledge of the dance. 😆😆 I thought that was South Indian. I thought classical was well without all that headgear, what Aish-Madhuri danced to in Dola Re Dola Re.

I don't like whatever thay danced to in Chennai Express. With the big 'crowns'.

Forgot to add, don't know about best classical dancer, but a thread of classically trained dancers who are actors will not be complete without Kamal Haasan. He is one of the few actors who is a trained dancer that I know of.

One of my favorite films of his called Salangai Oli in Tami and Sagara Sangamam in Telugu.

A classic scene where he corrects/demonstrates the same song in Bharanatyam, Kuchipudi and Kathakali.
