2. In this series, Sumeet Nagdev will teach you some basic
positions of the Indian folk dance called Chau. Here, you
will learn some modern Chau-style movements on a
Bollywood song, ‘Beera’ from the movie ‘Raavana’, as it
has the perfect tribal feel and is high on energy.

Indian style. Look up
between your hands.

8. Step 6: Step the right
foot out again as if
you are stomping
your foot (but softly)
and rise up with your

and ensure that your
left foot is turned out
and bent outwards.
This position of the
leg is called an
attitude.

(this is called a plie)
and open your arms
with your fingers
spiralled outwards.
