Filmi exercise

Shiamak Davar’s choreography and entertainment package has represented India at several global events, such as the India-Canada Business Partnership Summit Toronto, launch of the Indo-Japan Friendship Year Tokyo, the World Economic Forum, Davos, and the Commonwealth Games-Melbourne among others.

Shiamak is excited as he talks about the launch of the new “Reebok Bollywood Workout”. “The workout has been inspired by many different dance moves, which have been combined to create this new workout routine. It is a fun-filled activity that will also help burn calories and have a lot of fun, while working out.”

Davar has choreographed several Indian actors and celebrities for films and stage shows. Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor was trained as a dance instructor at his Shaimak Davar Dance Company.Child actor Darsheel Safary was also trained there. .

Shiamak is currently busy with arrangements for his “summer funk” workshops that will be held in centres across the country soon. “We started the workshop in 1994. It has been getting more popular over the years. Students are taught a range of dances and provided training in various aspects of stage performances.”

Shiamak feels that the standard of dances in Bollywood has deteriorated over the years. “I feel that Bollywood choreographers have ignored the details and let bad dancers into troupes, resulting in a fall of standards.”

He adds, “Talent is available, but the chorographers must tap them properly, instead of sticking only to the tried and tested formulas.”
