My name is Vikas Sachdeva or Vick. I was born and bred in Britain. I live in Leeds. My mum's from New Delhi and my dad's from Punjab.

They always say that if your grandfather was a chef and your dad was a chef then you should take the same role but I think the buck stopped here really. I thought that I wanted to do something different.

Working with both worlds

I've been dancing since I was four. I'm 29 now going on 30. Boogiewala came about approximately ten years ago, he was developed by me. I was thinking of working with both worlds, as in English as well as Indian.

Boogiewala basically means boogie person. Wala is person and boogie as in dancing. He's a fun, entertaining - I thinks that's the essence of Mr Boogiewala.

Bollywood with everything

The Boogiewala concept is mixing Bollywood with everything, whether it be Saturday Night Fever from the 70's or mixing Bollywood with jazz or funk music.

Mr Boogiewala took part in an event that raised money for Asian earthquake victims

With my performances I think I have an edge because I'm trying to entertain rather than just perform. I try to pull out magic tricks while I'm doing a dance performance.

If I'm doing a Billie Jean I might take off my hat and a card drops out. I just try to make it really funny. Not everyone will find it funny but a lot of people do.

My act can include John Travolta and Saturday Night Fever, Michael Jackson and Billie Jean, also Bangra and Bollywood performers and I'm working on Elvis at the moment.

I'm working on Elvis

I've done shows in Leicester, Manchester, Birmingham, Hull, Newcastle, Edinburgh. I travel up and down the country doing all types of multicultural and charity events.

I would like to teach children dance and mime. It would be great to have lots of little Boogiewalas.

Vick keeps working on new personalities to add to his act

In the future I would be looking at acting, perhaps working in a Bollywood movie - ideally Sholay 2.

The idea is that during performances I can make 200, maybe 500 people smile. During a theatre performance I could make 500 to 1,000 people laugh.

My ultimate aim

But my ultimate aim is to try to get a smile on as many faces as I can. I think the only way I can do that is on the big screen because it's published right round the world.
