Dance Plus is one of the most sought-after dance reality shows in India. It is broadcasted on Star Plus and with every new season, the competitiveness in the show has increased profoundly. The dancers who participate in the show are extremely talented. Each season brings a new batch of young, talented, and passionate dancers who are skilled in a variety of styles such as contemporary, popping, and hip-hop, to name a few. In fact, the average dancers are eliminated during the audience itself. The USP of the show is that it is hosted and judged by some of the most talented dancers and choreographers in India.
