THE COMMANDMENT for the lovers of the top-of-the-chart
floor-blowers: The right to shake a leg
can attain supremacy at Amphittheatre Janak,
Janakpuri District Centre. It became clear
when scores of them trusted their instincts
for three days (August 16-18), for a few
of them won prizes too.
Wordworth had a Dance Mania contest on
its first anniversary at Amphi Janak. Lorded
over by the young, it was an all-sold-out
affair on all the three days.
The take-your-pick and do-it-yourself show
saw 20 finalists making it to the final
round through a flurry of preliminary round
that went on for two days in the midst of
wild cheers from the crowd.
The first round swirled on like this: Each
contestant picked a prop and synchronised
one's performance with the chosen prop.
The semi-final was a three-minute impromptu
performance and the final was a five-minute
performance on a song of one's own choice.
There was three categories Solo, Group
below 16 and Group-above 16.
The winner in the solo was Ginny and the
runner up Aman. The winners in the Group
below 16 were Manu Anand (Joshilay) and
second prize to Bunty (Bhangra beat). The
winners in the third category were Deep
Sarkar (Western Pioneer) and second Ramanpreet
(Wah Bhai Wah).
Anchor Gagan made it interactive with plenty
of jokes in DJ Gaurav ensured the crowd
too cooed and shed some of its inhibition.
All the rounds were interspersed with Q&As
with the friendly neighbourhood Emcee Rana
Basu Thakur. Performances by Deepak Dey
on karaoke and a live performance by group
Echelon made it a memorable affair.
