Vishnu, a choreographer for Jehangir Dance Company(JDC) quits his job after having a bitter disagreement with his friend and manager Jehangir Khan about the latter's abuse of power and influence to win a dance competition "Dance Dil Se" for his team. Vishnu observes several proteges of Gopi, using parkour to evade the police. Despite their raw talent, they lack the discipline required to become serious dancers. They demonstrate this disastrously at a local event for a politician, where they set the stage on fire. After witnessing the youngsters show their dancing abilities at Ganesh Chaturthi against their rival neighbourhood, Vishnu decides to start his own dance group -- Dhongri Dance Revolution (DDR) -- with them, ultimately preparing them to compete in Dance Dil Se. However, the lack of discipline among the dancers and rivalry between the two factions in the group led by D and Rocky leads to multiple creative and emotional blocks. Only Rocky and his gang are initially willing to attend the free classes, but D and his friends soon gravitate towards the studio.
They are soon joined by Chandu, a troubled but extraordinarily talented man suffering from drug addiction, Shaina, a bar dancer, and Rhea, a Westerner who was JDC's star dancer until Jehangir tried to inappropriately touch her during a "private instruction". Rhea immediately becomes the new star of the group. Though the students are initially skeptical of Shaina because of her profession, Chandu defends her in front of the class despite teasing from his peers. The pair quickly fall for one another.
Despite repeated pleas for peace in the studio, the two gangs continue to clash, driving Vishnu to his wit's end. However, the students seem to improve and as a reward, he gives them money to buy new speakers, but they nearly lose it all when Rhea takes them to an elite dance club where they challenge the resident champions, a professional dance crew called Fictitious Crew. Vishnu arrives at the last minute and wins back the money. Vishnu is furious, but forgives them after many apologies, and they return to class with greater discipline and drive, only to suddenly be thrown out on the street after D's father calls the cops. The community complains that their children should not be wasting their time on dance. They perform an impromptu dance to convince their families of their talent. However, D's conservative father refuses to accept that his son desires to be a dancer.
The crew head to Dance Dil Se and audition, but when Rocky and D fight onstage for Rhea, their chances of appearing on the show in the first place seem bleak. Jehangir, to humiliate Vishnu publicly, persuades the judges to take the DDR crew on as the show's "jokers". Faced with ridicule and the idea that they are a joke, Vishnu asks Rocky and D to do a step that requires a great deal of mutual trust from both, but they cannot muster the trust to manage it. Vishnu then states that unless the two manage to do the step without blindfolds none of the dancers would be allowed to go home for the night. Several abortive and unsuccessful attempts later D and Rocky take a break and Chandu talks to D and tells him about Bhavana's secret love for D. Bhavana and D get together. D completes the move successfully with Rocky, and the two factions begin to trust each other. They even perform a dance act full of comedy dressed as jokers to get back at Jehangir's comment.
Before the semi-finals, Chandu prepares to propose to Shaina, but he meets his old drug dealer on the street. Now completely free from the hold of drugs he refuses to fall back into that world, but the irritated dealer tosses the ring intended for Shaina at him and it falls into the street. As Chandu retrieves it, he is hit by a truck and killed, leaving the team devastated. Shaina, though barely able to stand from grief, becomes the centrepiece of the team's semi-final routine, in which they express the loss of their friend, bringing the audience to tears. The team and the community come together to cremate Chandu, and DDR resolves to continue in the competition in Chandu's memory. Mayur, a performer in DDR tempted by Jehangir's offer of a main lead role in JDC feeds information to JDC which leads JDC's dancers to copy DDR's choreography. Faced with losing, DDR crafts a new routine on the spot, based around Lord Ganesha. Their heartfelt and spontaneous performance reminds Jehangir of his old friendship with Vishnu and why they started JDC in the first place and is humbled. The DDR crew are rewarded with a thunderous applause and victory in the competition.

In her first television interview, Sarah Lane, the professional ballerina who was actress Natalie Portman's dance double in \"Black Swan,\" accused filmmakers of lying about how much Lane danced in the film, and trying to cover it up.
\"I'm not speaking because I feel I should be heralded,\" Lane told \"20/20's\" Elizabeth Vargas in an exclusive interview. \"I'm just speaking because they're completely lying about the amount of dancing that Natalie did in the movie.\"
In \"Black Swan,\" Portman played a talented and tormented ballerina, whose searing descent into madness is mirrored by her incredible dancing on stage. But a recent controversy sprang up after Lane claimed to not only have danced in some of the movie's most unforgettable scenes that earned Portman a best actress Oscar, and that filmmakers asked her to refrain from talking about her role.
After she was interviewed by Glamour magazine for an article titled \"The Real Black Swan,\" Lane, a soloist for the prestigious American Ballet Theatre, said one of the film's producers called and told her to keep quiet about the extent of her performance.
\"He asked if I would please not do any more interviews until after the Oscars because it was bad for Natalie's image,\" Lane said. \"They were trying to create this image, this facade, really, that Natalie had done something extraordinary. Something that is pretty much impossible ... to become a professional ballerina in a year and half. Even with as hard as she worked, it takes so much more. It takes twenty-two years, it takes thirty years to become a ballerina.\"
Portman's face was superimposed onto Lane's body through special effects called \"face replacement\" in pivotal dance scenes to make it appear as if it were Portman executing technically sophisticated moves.
In a written statement, \"Black Swan\" director Darren Aronofsky said, \"Here is the reality. I had my editor count shots. There are 139 dance shots in the film -- 111 are Natalie Portman untouched. Twenty-eight are her dance double Sarah Lane. If you do the math, that's 80 percent Natalie Portman.\"
\"Black Swan\" editor Andy Weisblum agreed to take a closer look for \"20/20.\" \"There are about 35 shots that are full body shots in the movie. Of those 35 shots, 12 are Natalie, and then the rest are Sarah,\" Weisblum said. \"But over the overall film, Natalie did a lot more than that. I mean, she did most of the other shots. It was sometimes hard for me to tell the difference as the editor, it was so close.\"
More often than not, I'm on a dance floor, feeling music pulse through my body and moving it accordingly. I'm surrounded by people. They're dancing. I'm dancing. But in a body that looks like mine, one is never just dancing.
Let me be clear, there are many disabled dance practitioners who are exceptionally talented and internationally recognised. (If you ever want to fall down a rabbit hole of disability dance brilliance, look no further than AXIS Dance Company, who work with incredible artists such as Alice Sheppard, Rodney Bell and Marc Brew.) But I am not one of them.
Just as I am aware of my body in those moments, the way my muscles feel as I move, I'm equally aware of the able-bodied gaze. Heck, I'm aware of it when I'm in the supermarket, on a tram or wheeling through the streets. But there's something extra at play on the dance floor, and people not only look, they comment.
One woman recently commented that it must be "better than rehab". Because anything physical I do with my body must have a therapeutic or "healing" purpose. I couldn't possibly just move my body for the sheer joy of it.
Another fellow dancer recently leaned down to me and shouted that it was "great to see me out". I asked him what he meant and he replied, "It's just so awesome that you don't care what people think." Right. Because, presumably, if I did care what people think I'd have enough sense not to be shaking my crip booty before the delicate eyes of the general public, right?
Rather than explain to this gentleman that, in fact, I do care what people think (I'm just not self-hating enough to assume people find me disgusting), I dismissed him with a not-particularly-polite invitation to go away.
These comments remind me that people are surprised by my presence; that the dancefloor is not for me. Why? Perhaps it's because a dancefloor is not merely a place for moving, but also for sensuality and sexuality. From traditional courtship behaviour to straight-up cultural metaphors, dance and sex are inextricably linked.
