It's been only a couple of hours since LA-based choreographer Bobby Newberry landed in Mumbai and he has barely managed to catch a wink. But, it's hard to tell. Dressed in a casual white tee and denims, there's no sign of jet lag or fatigue. On the contrary, he is busy shimmying around and prepping for his photoshoot with model and reality star Divya Agarwal that will appear as part of his upcoming single. "India was on my vision board. And the day my trip got finalised, I decided to write an original song and call it Chance, because it's all about taking chances," he says. But the single is not the only reason that brings the 31-year-old artist here.

Dancing with the stars
Having choreographed the most sought-after names in the music scene including Pussycat Dolls, Eminem, Nicki Minaj, Girlicious, Jessie and the Toyboys, Lil' Wayne, Jody Watley and Aaron Kwok, Newberry is in the country to hold his first-ever jazz funk masterclass. He will then select fresh faces who can be part of his upcoming music videos and live shows. "My Instagram is already flooded with dance videos that people here have sent me and it's impressive. So I've got a sense of what I'll get to see," he says.
