Shantanu Maheshwari is mentoring one of the teams at an ongoing hip-hop league, which is being held virtually. Last seen on Nach Baliye 9, the actor, dancer and choreographer is now keen to guide youngsters through his team leadership at India's biggest hip-hop league.
Currently leading his very own hip-hop team at a prominent hip-hop league, Shantanu is mentoring, guiding and leading aspiring young dancers from across the country. "On the dance front, our country is filled with potentially talented dancers who due to various reasons have not been able to fulfill their aspirations. Hence I feel that with the right kind of guidance and mentoring, opportunities can be opened up for these dancers, as potential talent should not be lost. While I have gotten various opportunities to teach and guide dancers as well as those inclined towards dance through our Desi Hoppers crew workshops in the past, I am always on the lookout for mediums through which I can give back to dance. So I feel fortunate to have gotten an opportunity to mentor aspiring dancers through a prominent platform. With the exposure that I have gained over the years as a participant and a judge on many International platforms which has given me great learning,I plan to use those experiences to guide these young guns to get a better understanding of how they can present themselves and their skills to their own advantage," shares Shantanu.
When quizzed about how he plans to guide young dancers to achieve the feat, Shantanu says, "I have always maintained that the intent to do your best and be focussed on striving to win any big or small competition is very important. There has to be sincerity and determination to achieve the goal you have in mind when you are out there to win. Though it is also important to remember to enjoy yourself, loosen up, have fun while dancing and look at the competition as a platform to enhance your skills, gather lots of learning and live the experience, and that is exactly what I am aiming to imbibe in my team. Eventually, it is always going to be your love for dance, your passion for the art and celebrating the beauty of it, that will bring out the best of your talents on any stage performance."
