==Recognition==<br />
While Hindi dance music forms part of the [[music of Bollywood]], the wide-based genre songs became popular by the early-to-mid-2000s after the worldwide success of the song "[[Mundian To Bach Ke]]" which charted in various international music charts, and other famous dance songs such as "[[Kajra Re]]".<ref>{{Allmusic|class=artist|id=p559304|label=Panjabi MC}}</ref> By the late 2000s, Hindi dance music attained worldwide recognition following the success of the [[Oscars|Oscar]]-winning song "[[Jai Ho (song)|Jai Ho]]". By the 2010s, due to the growing fan base of [[Electronic dance music|EDM]], Hindi dance music began incorporating EDM, prompting the recognition of songs such as "[[Baby Doll (Kanika Kapoor song)|Baby Doll]]". The style of music was also an influence for British singer [[M.I.A. (rapper)|M.I.A.]] and her album ''[[Matangi (album)|Matangi]]''.<br />

==Bollywood dance==<br />
[[File:Bollywood dance show in Bristol.jpg|thumb|right|[[Bollywood]] dances usually follow ''[[filmi]]'' songs.]]<br />
The ''[[filmi]]'' music and dances in [[Bollywood]] films are a synthesis of formal and folk [[Music of India|Indian traditional music]] and [[Dance in India|dance traditions]], in fusion with [[Middle Eastern]] techniques. The dances in older [[Bollywood|Hindi movies]] represented supposed dances of the common people, although they involved original choreography. Bollywood dances have evolved as a unique and energetic style. Since they are group dances, they are often used as joyful [[exercise and music|exercise music]].<ref>[http://news.bbc.co.uk/nolpda/ifs_news/hi/newsid_6393000/6393263.stm Bollywood dance craze hits Yorkshire]</ref> The style of dance has also highly influenced international artists and appears in songs such as "[[Don't Phunk with My Heart]]", "[[Come & Get It (Selena Gomez song)|Come & Get It]]", "[[Prism (Katy Perry album)|Legendary Lovers]]", "[[Bounce (Iggy Azalea song)|Bounce]]" and "[[Never Give Up (Sia song)|Never Give Up]]" as well as EDM hit "[[Lean On]]", "[[Marshmello discography|Biba]]", "Goosebump" (which is soundtrack of [[Kung Fu Yoga]]) and Eurovision-winning song "[[Toy (song)|Toy]]".<br />
<br />
The [[choreography]] of Bollywood dances takes inspiration from [[List of Indian folk dances|Indian folk dances]], [[Indian classical dance|classical dances]] (like [[kathak]]) as well as [[disco]] and from earlier Hindi ''filmi'' dances.<br />
