Pranita Bandi, a member of the core organising team further tells us, “We have had 1,000-plus registrations over the past few weeks when we held online qualifiers because not everyone can fly down to Thane for one round. Today, we will be conducting the semi-finals with 100 solo performances and 40 crews, to single out 10 each who would proceed to the finals. The competition hopes to bring to the fore performers from hip-hop, folk and other dance forms, too.”

We may have disbanded, but we want to provide a similar opportunity for the enthusiasts who struggle to get such a platform on a national scale. The idea is to uplift them, so that they can move forward along this career path,” they both agree, before signing off.
