It adds another dimension to performances and helps bring characters to life: Monika Singh on actors knowing the art of dancing

Monika Singh, who was last seen in Tulsi Dham Ke Laddu Gopal, feels knowing how to dance enhances an actor’s performance and takes it up a notch. Speaking on the occasion of International Dance Day, which is observed on April 29, she said, “As an actor, I think knowing the art of dancing can be really important. It adds another dimension to performances and helps bring characters to life. Plus, it's always impressive to see actors bust out some killer dance moves on screen.”
 
She also agrees that dance sequences have become a crucial part of daily soaps. She said, “I think it has had a positive impact on the viewing experience of the audience. It adds excitement, entertainment, and it can even help tell a story in a unique way. It's like a visual treat that keeps us engaged and wanting more.”
 
For Monika, dancing is an adrenaline rush that makes her feel alive. She said, “Dance means so much to me! It's like a burst of energy that can instantly lift my mood and make me feel alive. It's definitely a stress buster and a great way to express myself.”
 
But she can’t pick one song she loves to shake a leg on. She said it’s hard to pick just one, and added, “I love dancing to upbeat and catchy tunes that make me want to move my feet.”
 
She also confessed that she has not taken any formal training in dancing, and enjoys dancing for fun. But when asked to rate herself as a dancer, she said, “I would rate myself as a decent dancer, nothing professional though.”
 
These days, making dance reels on popular songs is also a trend, and Monika feels that it's a creative way for people to showcase their dance skills and share their passion with others. “I enjoy watching these reels and seeing the different interpretations and styles people bring to the dance floor. It's all about spreading joy and good vibes through dance,” she ended.
