Actress Sandeepa Dhar wants to reconnect with Lindy hop, and hopes to do it through a dance number in her forthcoming film "Firrkie".

Sandeepa, who has featured in "Isi Life Mein", "Dabangg 2" and "Heropanti", will play a model in "Firrkie", which also stars Neil Nitin Mukesh, Karan Singh Grover, Kay Kay Menon and Jackie Shroff.

"I love dancing, but I haven't really got the opportunity to showcase my dancing skills in the movies I've done so far," Sandeepa said in a statement.

"Lindy hop is one of the most beautiful forms of creative look. It is a hip-hop tradition. It is part of my childhood and who I am. I want to reconnect with it," she added.

Sandeepa is a qualified Lindy hop dancer. She started learning the dance form at the age of 10. But didn't get time to practice it after entering showbiz.
