Nach Baliye couple: Delnaaz and Rajiv
Does it take two to tango?
• "Delnaaz being a better dancer, it takes more than two, as I keep goofing up," admits Rajiv. "No, not two, rather four in our case, as we look like strangers fighting on the streets when we are practising," corrects Delnaaz.
Who's calling the shots?
• "If we had guns, we would have shot each other by now! But yes, Delnaaz is definitely calling the shots here," quips Rajiv with Delnaaz smirking beside him. "In our personal life, though he feels I'm dominating, in reality, he's calling the shots. Since he invariably takes the back seat, by default, I end up taking the initiative. Ditto during our dance rehearsals," retorts Delnaaz.
How do you intend to floor the 'Nach Baliye' judges?
• "We've decided to enjoy our sessions to the hilt, learn the nitty-gritties and present our best. We're sure the audiences will enjoy our presentation and that's the way we'll sweep our judges off their feet," reveals the couple in unison."
Apart from each other, who'd you fancy shakin' your booty with?
• "I'd love to dance with Dharam paji (actor Dharmendra) as I may just match steps with him," jokes Rajiv. "It's my dream to dance with Shah Rukh Khan! I've seen this man in action in Kal Ho Na Ho from close quarters, but sadly never got to jiggy with him. I'd love to do so," reveals Delnaaz with dreamy eyes.
By Jove! Jive!
History: Jive, an American dance, is a mix of Rock N' Roll, Lindy Hop, Boogie, Jitterbug, West-Coast Swing and East-Coast Swing dance. Since Rock N' Roll was too fast for the oldies and Lindy Hop, too slow for the middle-aged who could dance faster than that, Jive came into being as a mix.
Mood: The mood of Jive is fun, relaxed and carefree. The kicks and flicks of the dance resemble aerobic exercise.
Dress code: That which allows you to spin and move freely. Flared skirts for girls and the usual Latin trousers and shoes for the guys.
Noted exponents: Slavik Kryklyvyy and Kaina Smirnoff.
Trainers: JJ JJ Rodrigues, Salomi Roy Kapoor, Farida Ragoonwalla, Sandip Soparrkar
