What is the purpose of background dancers?🤢 I showed some of my western friends 2 bollywood movies and when the songs came they started laughing and I got so embarrassed They laughed because they couldn't understand why there was background dancers behind the lead actors. This made me think about it long time and I remembered some western articles I had read about bollywood and they had also attacked indian movies because of the stupid background dancers.

Why do we have these background dancers? they are so ugly and to be honest they can't dance so good, their dancing makes me laugh and especially their weird costumes. So when will these background dancers not be in songs?

I so agree with you. For example, check this one out and tell me what you think of it.

Hint: Starting at 1:33, the guy in the denim jacket/yellow vest and the bearded guy to the left of Ayesha Jhulka. Please tell me it's OK to invite such people to your birthday party and have them dance for you!

😳

So ur western friends were laughing at the BG dancers but not at the fact that in BW movies the hero and heroine would burst into singing and dancing out of the blue..😆😆

Before watching the movie I had told them one thing: "prepare yourselves for songs, colors and over the top emotion" I told them bollywood is like musicals. When they saw hero and heroine singing and dancing they told me "wow so all indian heros and heroines can sing" I was like no😆

I disagree, I actually feel the background dancers never get their due. Almost all of them are amazing dancers but still the focus is always on the heroine or hero while if you look at it.. the ones in the background are dancing so much better.

Yeah! A lot of background dancers are really good!

In this video, the girl to Kareena's left is so pretty! And she's a great dancer too!

And I think its the same girl again in this video at Katrina's right.

And who can forget Shaimak's dancers? I love his dancers! Remember Shahid in Kahin Aag Lage? He's obviously very talented.

What I hate is when they have random white dancers that are purely there because they're white girls and they make them wear skimpy clothes. That's gross. But apart from that, I think background dancers are rather talented people who haven't gotten a chance because they're not star kids.
