Guess who's just joined choreographer Sandip Soparrkar's Latin American dance class? None other than Kajol, choreographer herself Farah Khan, Sonali Bendre, Arpita Khan and Vrinda Mehta (trainer to the Bachchan family)! What's more, these stars are not dancing to Sandip's tunes for a film, they're simply putting on their dancing shoes for the fun of it! "They've all joined the class for the love of dancing. All of them are learning all the Latin American ballroom dances: chacha-cha, salsa, ramba, waltz," says Sandip.
So how does the 'teacher' feel to be training his 'students', rather star students? "It's great fun! You should see Kajol do the cha-cha-cha, she's superb! But she dreads the rumba," laughs Sandip, continuing, "Farah, however, is not learning the dances, she is only 'refreshing' her memories."
Have any of them joined the classes in the hope of shedding a few kilos? "Not really, it's more for the pleasure of dancing. Although Vrinda keeps telling me this is a great way to lose weight as well!" says Sandip.
