But ever wondered why the industry.s top-notch choreographers . be it Saroj Khan, Farah Khan or Ganesh Acharya . are themselves on the heavier side of the weighing scale?Most of them were lean when they started out. So some blame it on the oily food on the sets, the lack of physical exercise and the stress of coordinating with assistants and artists..Choreographers are like visualisers. They plan the choreography, not actually dance. They know what to tell the artist, they know the technique of the dance, but they don.t stand and perform all the time. Add to that the food on the sets,. young choreographer Terence Lewis told Ians..As a choreographer, you are stressed all the time as you have to concentrate on the artist and many times you end up neglecting yourself.

Fans of Hrithik Roshan are eagerly awaiting to see their favorite actor's performance in the Sanjay Leela Bhansali directed Guzaarish. In the film, Hrithik plays a paraplegic man and it is also said to deal with euthanasia - a very controversial subject. With such strong topics, one would think that Hrithik dancing would not be a part of the film. However, it seems he will be dancing and this time it will be a lyrical jazz piece. Lyrical jazz is a mixture of modern, ballet and jazz dance techniques that is a very emotional style of dance. Hrithik tweeted about the number: "Did lyrical jazz dance 4 Guzaarish. Best dance experience ever! Thanks to Ashley Lobo and his team! His dancing is like an out of body experience!"
