Richa learns belly dancing

Richa Chadha learnt belly dance for one of the dance sequences in Shakeela, which will soon be released. This is the first time Richa will be seen performing on a belly dance number on celluloid. Now, we hear that the actress has decided to take her belly dancing skills to the next level. She will soon start learning tribal belly dance. 

To add to her learning she went through an extensive tribal belly dance training workshop in Kazakhstan, which was held by one of the world’s prominent dancers- Olga Meos. 

Shares Richa, “I came across this particular style of dancing while doing some research for Shakeela. I discovered that this style had oriental routes. There was a group of gypsy women who travelled to Eastern coast of India. It has elements of Odissi and Kalbeliyan dancers. So,  from purely an academic interest and I ended up being a big fan of the style.”
