Shakira's Indian Dance at MTV Awards


Well......you'll ask what special in it.....then i would say that the first time shakira has learnt to dance on Indian steps..... Shakira is performing "Hips Don't Lie" to the dance moves of popular Indian Choreographer Farah Khan. The award show was held on August 31st 2006 in Radio City Music Hall.Add to that her phenomenal fan base that includes Indian Americans, and one sees just why a 3-minute performance with a Bollywood backdrop became larger than life.Succoured by an equally loud group of lehenga attired backup dancers, she kick-started the performance in a muted Indian classical dance format replete with popular mudras.
The potpourri performance, which veered uneasily between classical Indian, popular Indian and hardly-Indian bearings, is credited not only to Farah Khan (who seemed overawed with the dancer and under-sourced with the content) but also to Chicago's classical Indian dance company Kalapriya Dance and its artistic director Pranita Jain.She wore a dress similar to a sari suitably adapted for a bout of vigorous hip gyration.
