Sony Entertainment Television is preparing to start ‘India’s Best Dancer’ Season 3 of their dancing reality show.

Following the success of the previous seasons, ‘India’s Best Dancer’ Season 3 returns for its third season, seeking exceptional dancing talent from throughout the country.

This season will honour those candidates whose moves will demonstrate what they stand for, in keeping with the season’s theme of #HarMoveSeKarengeProve.

Geeta Kapur and Terence Lewis will return as judges, while Sonali Bendre will join them to form the jury triad.

‘India’s Best Dancer’ Season 3, premiering on Sony Entertainment Television on April 8 at 8 p.m, is produced by Frames Production Company and hosted by Jay Bhanushali.

Starting with the auditions, the contestants will get only 90 seconds on the clock to impress judges with at least 3 power moves to go further in the competition. As the clock keeps ticking, the judges, also known as the E.E.N.T specialists, will keep a close eye on the Emotions, Entertainment, Newness and Technique that the contestants bring forth in their acts.

Judge Bendre will assess the performances on ‘Emotions and Entertainment’, while Kapur will look for ‘Newness’ in the moves and Lewis will account for perfection in the ‘Technique’, the channel said in a statement.

The second phase will be the Mega Auditions that sees selected contestants battle it out in pairs or trios to move into the next round.

With the premiere, the judges will announce the Top 12 contestants as the ‘Best Barah’ who will be introduced to their respective mentor in their journey ahead.
