Dancing Seems to be a Passion for Young Indians
But improved production values and an explosion in television dance shows in recent years have promoted dance from a second-best bit part to a viable and potentially lucrative career for aspiring young performers.
In a sign of the demand, newspaper classified sections on any given day are filled with advertisements offering tuition to would-be dancers, and with it hopes of a starring role on the small or big screen.
Jeetendra B. Singh ditched his job in the shipping industry to follow his heart rather than travel the world.
"I was just fed up with shipping, so, I gave up and decided to do dancing, which was always my passion since childhood," he said.
At 30, Singh has no regrets and now commands 4,000 rupees (84 dollars) a day to dance in shows.
"Five years back the money was not good. Sometimes I danced for 150 rupees a day, but today dancers are well-paid and the perception in Indian society has changed and they are willing to pay more for dancers."
Dancing as an art form has a long tradition in India, from ancient classical styles performed in Hindu temples, the courts of Mughal emperors and princely states, to regional folk interpretations.
