'Dance India Dance', the biggest dance platform on Indian television will take viewers by storm with its brand new series. A show that will give a platform to those women who gave up their dream of becoming a dancer and settled for a career, family life & motherhood! In a country where mothers are conventionally perceived as sacrificial figures, Zee TV now gives them a second chance to them to live their passion for dance. 'Umeed Se Saje Zindagi' is not just a brand statement for the channel. It's an ideology that the channel lives by through all its fiction and reality shows. With 'DID Super Moms' the channel aims to give 'Umeed' to lakhs of mothers in India who now aspire to make a name for themselves in the field of dance. Premiering on 1st June, the show will air every Saturday and Sunday at 9 pm.
Bharat Kumar Ranga, ZEEL - Chief Content & Creative Officer, said, “Every reality show of Zee TV aims at giving an opportunity to deserving talent in India. 'DID Super Moms' salutes the indomitable spirit of a mother who stands by us through thick and thin. Even if five households in the country change their mindsets and allow their daughter-in-laws to pursue their dreams, we will have achieved our objective! I take this opportunity to thank all the family members of these contestants who have encouraged them to realize their dreams. Our criteria for selecting the best dancer did not change for this series just because they are mothers…our audiences can be rest assured that their dancing will be of the high standard that DID contestants are synonymous with. This show will absolutely break the myth that mothers can't dance.”
This 15-week series will have 16 dancers and they will be divided into 4 teams. The contestants will be coached by four acclaimed DID skippers - Raghav Crockroaz Juyal, Prince Gupta, Siddhesh Pai and Jai Kumar Nair. The show will be judged by the mother of all dancers, Farah Khan, and the accomplished dancer- choreographer, Marzi Pestonji. Mithun Chakraborty will preside over as the Grand Master and the very affable, Jay Banushali, will be seen anchoring the show.
