My teacher phoned me last night after she'd caught the dance scene in Vanity Fair on TV by accident, I was unaware of it before. To judge by the Internet Movie Database, the choreographers for this film are two Indians who usually choreograph for Bollywood films and the dancers aren't belly dancers.
