My Compelling Story

Paresh Shirodkar knows it all, from making Bollywood super stars dance on his moves to being amongst the best Michael Jackson look alike dancers. May it be Bollywood heartthrobs like Hrithik Roshan, Shahid Kapoor, Tiger Shroff, Sushant Singh Rajput, Sharman Joshi or divas like Shraddha Kapoor, Huma Qureshi, Nitu Chandra, Shama Sikanda, Paresh has made them all follow his dance moves. Kunal Kapoor and Girish Taurani also had their bit when it came to learning from him. The heartbreakingly cool dancing madness of Hrithik Roshan in 'Just Dance' reality show was the magic of Paresh’s choreography. The latest Bollywood sensation, Tiger Shroff, is personally trained in dancing by none other than Paresh to reach brilliance in dancing. The dance ‘Baap’ of India, Sir Prabhu Deva, the choreographer of all choreographers, danced his solo act in the Bollywood dance movie 'ABCD' with Paresh as his choreographer. As a beginner, Paresh took his level of dancing to another notch, when he danced like Michael Jackon on the 'Jhumroo' song by Kishore Kumar. He was honored with the famous Boogie Woogie Championship for this dance fusion in 2004. He kept following his dreams to become a dancing sensation, in spite of having no Godfather in the industry; today he is entitled with 14 Boogie Woogie Championships. He also earned the Kaboom Championship where he was called the 'Indian Michael Jackson' and was honored with a standing ovation by Javed Jafri himself. Paresh had lived his own share of miseries and yet has a heart of gold. He teaches poor talented children to dance for free. He has built his own dance academy where he trains for international dance forms like popping, locking, C-walks, house, B-boying, breakdance, salsa, bachata, crumping, etc. Being the dancer he is, Paresh still carries a humble heart and pays gratitude to Michael Jackson for being his inspiration. He considers 26th June, 2009 as the moment of his life when Michael Jackson died on his birthday and intends to carry on MJ’s dance journey till his last breath. Not just this, he has also choreographed the song by Major Lazor and DJ Snake – Lean On!
