Bollywood's beloved playback singer Shaan is in the celebrity brigade participating in dance reality show "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa". He says he wants to enjoy the experience to the fullest.

"This is a vacation for me and I have to basically just enjoy it," Shaan told IANS.

The singer, who has crooned numbers like "Behti hawaa" and "Jab se tere naina", feels some training in dance will add to his performance as an artist.

"I have covered everything in singing. I thought that dancing was close to singing. As a performer, if I could shake a leg while performing, it will be great. I thought I will get a crash course in dancing," he said.

However, he feels the difference between freestyle and choreographed dance.

"At a club I have no qualms about dancing. Of course, I have inhibitions, but it is not something which I detest. I never took it (dance) seriously. Dancing is one thing, choreographing is another," he said.
