The sixth season of the popular dance reality show Dance+ will premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on September 14, the streaming platform announced on Wednesday. The dance competition series, which returns after a gap of two years, features performers from across India competing for the top prize. The last season of Dance+ aired in 2019 on StarPlus, the television channel.
The upcoming season will have choreographer-director Remo D'Souza return as the Super Judge. Choreographers Punit Pathak and Shakti Mohan will continue to appear as team captains. Joining Pathak and Mohan as a new team captain this season is Salman Yusuff Khan. D'Souza said he is looking forward to another stint as the Super Judge.
"After the past two years, I find myself even more passionate about the craft of dancing. This opportunity gives me a scope to share my knowledge of dance, something I dearly love and have built my life on," D'Souza stated. "I know this season will be packed with many mind-blowing performances because Shakti, Salman and Punit are fantastic dancers themselves," he added.
According to the makers, Dance+ happens to be the first dancing reality show to premiere on a digital platform before airing on television. Pathak said he too was waiting for the return of the series ever since the last season ended.
Mohan said her love for mentor D'Souza and dance compelled her to come back for the sixth season. "The show enjoys a special place in the hearts of the viewers who have been with us for five strong seasons. I am up against two brilliant choreographers and friends which is sure to raise the bar of the performances in this season," she said.
Khan said he is excited to be reuniting with his longtime friends Mohan, Pathak, and D'Souza on the new season. "Having followed the past five seasons of Dance+ so religiously, I'm ready to challenge myself as the first-time captain and lead my team to victory," he added. Dancer-choreographer-television presenter Raghav Juyal is also set to return as the host.
