Why Non-Dancers Are Easier to Work With
In conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Remo D’Souza shared his perspective on choreographing actors who aren’t trained dancers. He believes non-dancers are easier to work with, as his approach focuses on designing steps that complement the actor’s style rather than imposing complex moves. He emphasizes that choreography should enhance the actor’s performance on screen, ensuring they look confident and natural. Remo also advises his assistants to prioritize how the actor can execute a step rather than how a professional dancer would, making the process more actor-centric.Tailoring Steps to Actor’s Strengths
The ace choreographer further shared that he has worked with a wide range of actors, including Sunny Deol, Ajay Devgn, and Sanjay Dutt—stars who aren’t typically associated with dance. However, he revealed that each of them performed well, and he never faced complaints about the choreography. His secret lies in tailoring dance steps to suit the actor’s comfort and style, ensuring they feel confident while performing.
