After stripping for a photoshoot for her first film, actress Veena Malik is brushing up her salsa skills with choreographer Longines Fernandes.

Dressed in a sexy red dress, the actress strikes several poses for the camera.

Take a look!

The actress is preparing for an ad, and is all excited about dancing for the shoot.

She says, "Dancing is my passion. Salsa is new for me. I am quite nervous and excited about this project. Salsa is like good music, it elevates the spirit and is exhilarating."

Longinus Fernandes, who choreographed the song Jai Ho in Danny Boyle's Oscar-winning film Slumdog Millionaire, is choreographing the sequence for Veena Malik.

He said, "Veena is a good dancer and has the skill to adapt to different dance moves. She is a dancing star."

After her item number Channo, Malik is working on her upcoming films -- Mumbai 125 kms, Dal Mein Kuch Kala Hai -- among other projects.
