Neha Sharma talks about her belly-dancing lessons.

Neha Sharma has turned to something unusual for a hobby: belly-dancing. The actor,who made her acting debut in Crook: It8217;s Good To Be Bad opposite Emraan Hashmi,has been taking belly-dance lessons for the sheer excitement of learning a new dance form. Unlike most people who hire the services of a professional to learn belly-dancing,Neha has been learning the exotic dance form with the help of an instructional DVD. I don8217;t need to attend classes. I have purchased a belly-dance DVD that I just pop into a DVD player and dance. It8217;s fun,as I can watch the dance steps and try and copy it by looking into the mirror to see if I get the step right. I have finished 14 lessons in all, says the actor.

Neha,who is a self-obsessed dancer,admits to being very passionate about dance since her childhood days. I had learnt Kathak as a kid. Later,when I got the opportunity I visited the Pineapple Dance Studios in London and took dance lessons in various Latin-American forms like Jazz,Salsa,Jive and Street Hip-Hop, says the actor,who also enjoys painting and cooking.

If given a chance,I would love to star in a musical. It will give me chance to flaunt my dance moves and put my dancing skills to test. Musicals are a rarity in Bollywood but if some director plans to make a film on dance like Step-Up,I would love to be cast in it. Neha,who will be next seen on-screen opposite Tusshar in Kya Super Kool Hain Hum,has just wrapped up the first schedule of the film. Ask her if she plans to flaunt her belly-dance steps in the film and she retorts,No! Most Hindi films stick to the regular Bollywood dance steps that are pretty easy to master. Right now I plan to go out partying with my friends at some night club in order to show off my belly-dance moves.
