DANCE AS REALITY TV

By the mid-2000s, desi dance reality shows like Boogie Woogie, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and Dance India Dance played a key role in introducing viewers to more dance forms such as ballroom, lyrical, variants of hip hop and more. They, in turn, gave birth to a whole new legion of choreographers who set up their own studios and are well-versed with social media to spread their art. Some like hip hop crew Kings United have gone on to make an international impact.
