Zee TV's popular dance reality show ‘Dance India Dance' (DID) is all set to have a second season.

Actor Mithun Chakravarty is back as the grand master of the show, while ace choreographers Terrence Lewis, Remo D'Souza and Geeta Kapoor have ready to mentor new talents this season.

Nitin Vaidya, COO of ZEEL and Business Head, Zee TV said, "In a bid to attract the finest dancing talent from every nook and corner of the country, Lux Dance India Dance's creative team has been conducting auditions for over 3 months across 18 cities in India and even in the United States, UK and Dubai."

"After Lux Dance India Dance became a national rage last year, the auditions have drawn upon over 1 lakh passionate aspirants from all over. The show is shaping up beautifully and we are confident that it will see a fabulous innings this year!" he added.

While Zee TV has unearthed some phenomenal dancers who will bring the house down with their performances this season, there were some heart-wrenching moments along the way when a deaf-mute girl presented herself for the auditions, having prepared the whole year to be a part of the show.

Equally touching was the instance where a mentally challenged child from Delhi who had appeared for last year's auditions, on being inspired by mentor Geeta Kapoor's words, returned to the auditions this year with rigorous preparation and dazzled the judges enough to make it to the top 100.

Mithun said, "I'm extremely happy to be back again with this wonderful family called Lux Dance India Dance. There's great satisfaction when one is surrounded by so much energy and talent. There is no doubt that the show will be a rocking success this year too!"

Starting Friday, the show will follow a format similar to the original season where the 18 contestants are divided into 3 teams led by the choreographers- Geeta ki Gang, Terence ki Toli and Remo ke Rangeele!

To bring out the best in every contestant, the show has tied up with internationally acclaimed dance gurus ‘Storm' from Germany who specializes in Hip Hop, an agility and stunts expert "Hari Das"from Africa and Sandip Soparrkar to conduct intensive workshops with them.
