The channel has roped in the God of Dance - Shiamak Davar
to judge these extremely skillful dancers.
Dancer-choreographer-entrepreneur-philanthropist, Shiamak is India's
most successful choreographer and has invented Bollywood dance as we
know it. He introduced his own style of dancing that incorporates soft
jazz influences, vibrant Kathak moves and a bit of contemporary fun in
Mumbai 30 years ago.
Speaking on the launch, Mr. Ashish Golwalkar , Non Fiction Head Zee TV,
"While Season 1 proved to be a path breaking show for all aspiring
dancers , the uncontainable excitement was more palpable in its sequel -
Season 2. The chosen 20 contestants selected for Dance ke Superstars
have defied every obstacle and won the hearts of not only the audiences
but also gathered endless accolades from renowned choreographers and
actors from our Industry since their debut on the show. This will be one
platform where you will see who is a better dancer- is it Prince or
Dharmesh, Shakti or Alishah, Siddhesh or Punit?"
"There could be
no other better judge than Shaimak to evaluate the dancing prowess of
these ace performers. Shaimak is an institute in dance himself and is
considered one of the best choreographer's worldwide. We are happy to
associate with him as his presence will give the contestants a new
learning that will only help them in their careers," added Mr Golwalkar.
On being a part of Dance Ke Superstars as the Dance Maestro, Shaimak Davar
said, 'It's an absolute delight to be a part of this wonderful family
called Dance India Dance. And I am extremely honored about the fact they
have given me the responsibility of choosing the ultimate Dance ke
Superstars. On this platform, one is surrounded by so much energy and
talent that I hope I will do justice to the role that I have been
given!'
To bring out the best in every contestant and to ease the tension on the floor, the witty Manish Paul has been roped into anchor the show. Every week, one will also see ace dance exponents like Geeta Kapoor, Marzi Pestonji and a host of other Bollywood celebrities on the show. The show is being produced by The Real Picture (TRP).
Watch
the fun, the spectacle, the grind, the grandeur, the passion, the
frenzy, the camaraderie, the rehearsals, the victories, the
disappointments, the razzmatazz and some absolutely mind boggling
performances in a whole new season of dynamic dancing!
