As
a nibbling Rat, I say big No No to dance but yeah even my body swayed nicely when I
saw the #MaxFreshMove video with Mr.Crumbles who calls himself a dancer, I did feel an instant
freshness running inside my body and I gave him a big smile er.. a big
‘Colgate’ smile.
Now
let’s read what Mr.Crumbles has to say about the video and the way he stayed
fresh throughout these years with his cheesy white teeth. And wait, especially
his secret on how he flattered people around with his groovy dance moves.
Mr.
Crumbles says...
“I
like to move it move it, I like to move it move it, You like to?”
Everyone moves their body and when you move your body in an organized
flow to a rhythm then we call it Dance. I’ve been moving (dancing to be precise
:P) since I was 6 years old. Dance always makes me fresh, may it be the moves
in the early morning in front of the mirror brushing or may it be the late
night walking with dance steps in the streets, it makes the moment special and
stirs me up from toe to top.
We
just look for a moment to move our hips and shake our legs. We all have
incorporated dance in our habitual life to express our happiness and feel
fresh. Marriages, ceremonies, birthday bashes, bachelor parties, family
functions and festivals every time we feel happy we dance. Not only these
occasions even our moment of loneliness in the lift with our favourite music in
our ears we do make our moves to get a splash of freshness before stepping into
the busy world. To me Music and Dance are the modern age yoga to keep our mind
and soul fresh.
Dull
moments occur every now and then in our daily life. These are inevitable and so
is cheering ourselves up with freshness. I watched this video of Taazgi Ka
Dhamaka by Colgate Max Fresh featuring one of my favourite dancing stars Allu Arjun
and the Indian Pop girl Anushka Manchanda and I shared it with my group of
friends for two reasons – the peppy number and the groovy moves.
First the music and the song impressed me a lot. But the highlight of this video is the dance moves by Allu Arjun. I’m listing down 3 of my favorite & best moves that will turn any dull moments to Taazgi ka Dhamaka with freshness. Let’s begin the countdown...

Step #1: The Entry - “Shake
the shoulders and pump up”
The
entry step is what gets the whole dance going and no doubt that Allu Arjun has
pulled of a perfect entry after jumping of the balcony. This is a quick 8 count
step but has so much fun and style. First 4 counts holding the coat and he
emerges from between the ladies is a classic entry. And the next 4 counts of
rolling his hands to his head and moving forward tells us how much energy and
freshness the rest of the moves has.
Think of a slow walking marriage ceremony in the streets with traditional Carnatic Mela Thalaam and Naadhaswaram. I would bribe the music band to play a folkish number for few minutes and with this entry move will rip the slow moving crowd and emerge to the front with this step, everyone will follow me with their thumkas and kuthus. This is an advantage of being in a friend’s marriage, the fun is limitless. Perhaps my friend’s dad would disagree with the limitless fun part, but that’s not going to stop any of this. :P

Step #2: The Dhamaka -
“Wrap the freshness and blow your heart out”
This
is definitely a trademark step of the entire video song. “Taazgi ka jhatak
matak dhamaka” is a quick and simple step. I like this one more because this is
easy for everyone to catch up and when a huge group of dancers flap their hands
and spread wide it will look stunning in sync.
This is super cool step. When choreographing a dance sequence to be performed on stage, I would want one move to be repeated and registered in the mind of audience so that everyone can join us. This is one such move, which you can take home after watching the performance. Not everyone get to learn dance, but these simple moves are the one’s which you try in your daily life to turn the dull moment to bright happiness. The hand moves are the exact way our hearts would feel when we are happy. The Dhamaka step is for every common man.

Step #3: The Hip-Hop -
“Style statement”
This
is my personal favorite. When he says “Okay everybody get down” we know that
something sensational is going to follow and so it does. Allu Arjun once again
displays his dancing skills with this 15 sec hip-hop moves. Every single pop
and cut is very sharp. The way he pulls his hands and walks back to complete
the sequence is a definite showstopper.
You play Antakshari? It’s a family favorite game even in this era of card and video games. When you are busy thinking of the next song to be sung, I will jump into the center and do this hip-hop move to display the style and make you realize what dance adds to the music and vice versa.
