PTC Punjabi is set to dazzle audiences with Punjab’s first-ever dance reality show, ‘Dance Punjabi Dance,’ launching tonight, May 20.
This groundbreaking show aims to highlight the region’s finest dance talents, uniting performers from every corner of Punjab for an unforgettable experience.
The talent search began with a comprehensive hunt through dance institutes and academies across Punjab. A distinguished panel of judges, including dance maestro Manik Bhatejha, the fabulous Gagun Bedi, and the stunning actress-model Mansi Sharma, meticulously selected the best dancers from six key cities: Amritsar, Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Patiala, Mohali, and Chandigarh, the channel said in a press release.
After a rigorous shortlisting process, the chosen candidates competed in gala auditions, from which the top 24 contestants advanced to the studio auditions. This set the stage for an intense and exhilarating competition, promising viewers a rollercoaster of emotions and jaw-dropping performances.
The show comprises 26 thrilling episodes, airing Monday to Friday at 7 PM on PTC Punjabi. Each episode will feature special celebrity guests, adding their unique flair and keeping the audience captivated.
Rabindra Narayan, MD and President of PTC Network, expressed his excitement about the new venture, stating, “From Jazz to Bhangra, Locking Popping to Gidda, our contestants will showcase an incredible range of dance styles, blending traditional and contemporary elements. We’ve even attracted talents from neighboring states like UP, Rajasthan, and Haryana. We are thrilled to bring such a dynamic and diverse showcase to our viewers. This show is not just about competition; it’s about celebrating the vibrant dance culture that unites us all.”
‘Dance Punjabi Dance’ is the latest in a long line of PTC Network initiatives aimed at providing an international platform for Punjabi talent.
The initial response at the auditions has been tremendous, and the network is confident that viewers will not only patronize the show but also encourage more talent to shine.
The stakes are high, with the winner taking home the prestigious title, a brand-new TVS Jupiter, and a grand cash prize of Rs 4,00,000. Following the success of popular shows like ‘Voice of Punjab’ and ‘Miss PTC Punjab,’ ‘Dance Punjabi Dance’ is poised to ignite a dance revolution like never before.
