What is it About Sia’s ‘Cheap Thrills’ that Makes Bharatnatyam Dancers Go Nuts?

We know we might be just a little late to the party, but we’ve found some new favourite videos. We’re not sure what it is about Sia’s Cheap Thrills that has made so many people make Bharatnatyam dance covers of the song, but it’s really hard to stop watching them once you’ve begun.

From dancing on terraces to in front of fountains and in the middle of a road, everyone here looks thoroughly happy. Here are some of our favourite videos:

You can skip the first 25 seconds of this video, but once the girls start dancing, it’s fantastic. You can hear the crowd cheering.

We love this one for how well these two girls dance together. And the fountain.

This one stops being Bharatnatyam in the last 10 seconds, but you’ll see why we just couldn’t leave her out.

She dances the line “I got you baby,” differently from everyone else.

We love how fully enthu she is in this one.
