Research on Bhangra.

After re_reading my feedback sheet i have discovered that i have to do a review on a Hrithik Roshan dance instead of jai ho. I will do the review on the dance that Hrithink did at a TV show.
Hrithik is an inspirational bhangra/western style dancer because he uses both styles and combines them together in genius choreography. He does a lot of popping and locking and then does a few counts that are really bouncy and more traditional style bhangra. He also twists the traditional moves of bhangra, for example he uses isolations of the legs and ribs followed by head and neck and entwines a western street feel into them. He also uses a few more contemporary/ballet moves and then uses the tradition move of; twisting the lightbulb’. However, through the dance he keeps a steady constant beat which is extremely clever.  I think the thing that make Hrithik so cutting edge in bhangra is that he is unique and he has almost completely broken away from the traditional elements of bhangra and moved over to street. In my opinion he has modernized bhangra and has brought it into a new era, in other words he has almost created a new dance style had has given bhangra a good name. He is well liked by many women and children in India because although he is unique and has a very strong street dance style he interprets some tradition bhangra moves in and moves its so slick and quick that its not noticeable as being different.
