Dancing evokes a wide range of emotions, making it a versatile and dynamic medium for emotional expression.

Inviting viewers to experience this very emotion, Sony Entertainment Television is set to elevate the entertainment fever with the fourth season of ‘India’s Best Dancer’. Heightening the glamour quotient of the show, Karisma Kapoor will take on the role of judge.

Joining her in this journey will be Terence Lewis and Geeta Kapur, as they reprise their roles as judges this season.

Promising a captivating journey of extraordinary talent and electrifying dance moves, the show urges viewers, "Jab Dil Kare Dance Kar!"

Produced by Frames Production Company, 'India’s Best Dancer Season 4' starts on 13th July and will air every Saturday and Sunday at 8 PM only on Sony Entertainment Television.

During the auditions, contestants must showcase three power moves in 90 seconds to impress the judges, also known as E.N.T specialists, to advance in the show. Evaluated based on the criteria of ‘Entertainment,’ ‘Newness,’ and ‘Technique’, this season’s new judge Karisma Kapoor will look at the ‘Entertainment’ factor, Geeta Kapur will keep a keen eye on the ‘Newness’ element and Terence Lewis will focus on the ‘Technique’ of the overall performance. Introducing a new game changer this season, the contestants will be given a compelling task called ‘Mauka Ya Chauka’ where the contestants who get the best buzzer from the judges will face this challenge. Opting for ‘Mauka’ ensures direct entry into the Top 12, bypassing the Mega Auditions, while choosing 'Chauka' involves a dance-off against a former contestant of the show who is now a part of the jury panel.

The Mega Auditions will see the selected contestants battle it out in pairs or trios to move into the next round. The Grand Premiere will follow, where the judges will announce the Top 12 contestants as the ‘Best Barah’, who will be introduced to their respective mentors in their journey ahead. Each week, these contestants will compete to get one step closer to winning the coveted title of India’s Best Dancer.

Karisma Kapoor expressed her excitement, "As a judge this season, I am thrilled to witness the evolution of dance styles and the boundless creativity of our contestants. This platform not only celebrates talent but also fosters a spirit of innovation and perseverance among participants. I am eager to embark on this journey alongside Terence and Geeta, where we aim to inspire, empower, and elevate each dancer’s performance to new heights."

Terence Lewis shared his enthusiasm, "As we embark on another exhilarating journey with India’s Best Dancer Season 4, I am thrilled to return to the judges' panel. This show is a beacon for dance enthusiasts nationwide, offering a platform for raw talent to shine. It’s truly gratifying to witness the evolution of dance forms and witness fresh, innovative performances that redefine creativity."

Geeta Kapur added, "Being part of India’s Best Dancer Season 4 fills me with immense joy and anticipation. Each season brings forth a new wave of talent that redefines the boundaries of dance. I am eager to witness the passion and dedication of our contestants as they showcase their unique styles and stories on stage. This platform continues to inspire and uplift, celebrating dance in its myriad forms."
