By Hilonee Furia

Last year it was ‘tu mera hero’ and this year it is ‘radha’.
Every year, Bollywood releases a bevy of songs that are of sure of becoming sangeet staples. The beats and lyrics of these songs get everyone in the ‘wedding mood’, a mood which demands that one get off that chair and dance. However, not everyone is a dancer! So how does one perfect the moves, get the grooves and gyrate like there is no tomorrow?
Enter, Sangeet Choreographers. These are the professionals who will hone your dancing skills, teach you more than a couple of basic wedding steps, choreograph your entire sangeet routine and make even your chacha with 2-left-feet look like the dance man of the hour!
