Sarees have been the go-to outfit for dance parties in India, be it in films or reality. Bollywood chartbusters like Badtameez Dil, where Deepika Padukone’s saree became the perfect inspiration for a night
out, or Dostana’s Desi Girl featuring Priyanka Chopra’s iconic drape, need no introduction. But there are people in real life who can give these divas a run for their money when it comes to grooving in a saree and heels. Case in point? An Instagram video of a woman dancing her heart out in a saree has grabbed attention. The clip, which was filmed at an event, shows the woman doing the bhangra while in heels.
The video shows the woman, wearing a black saree and matching heels, flawlessly executing her moves on a slippery floor with notes strewn on it, managing to keep up with her dance partner. The duo is surrounded by a group of friends who look very impressed with their performance. As the clip continues, the woman breaks out into some energetic bhangra steps. The clip has over 1.3 million likes on Instagram.
Instagram Users Hail Woman’s Dance
The text appearing over the clip read, “This is your sign to realise saree and heels can be the greatest dance off outfit.”
Many people agreed in the comments section. “I can’t believe my eyes,” a user wrote.
Another remarked, “Bhai hum mard 7 janam me na kar paye.”
“Heels, saree with pallu gloriously waving, dancing on slippery looking floor with notes on it, doing an energetic and tough choreography while still looking fabulous and effortless! Girl, you’re literally a superwoman!” a comment read.
One account wrote, “Women being women is my fav genre.”
An individual quipped, “Dance floor so slippery, I would slip barefoot. You queen.”
“How Icons behave,” a user commented.
One account explained, “It’s not the saree, the lady here probably has a great workout routine and the clothes don’t matter. She has inner body strength.”
Another observed, “Her moves were so goated that everyone completely ignored the money on the floor.”
