At the recent Mumbai auditions of its dance reality show for kids- DID Li'l Masters, Zee TV decided to delight the
9000 children & their parents who had queued up outside a school in Kandivli with a surprise visit by their favorite
dance master Remo D'souza.
Little did the channel know that this would result in a scenario where Remo's car would be frozen at one spot,
unable to budge for over an hour with kids flocking all around it, dying to show Remo their much-rehearsed moves.
Remo was completely overwhelmed by the accuracy with which little children were aping the moves they had seen
in the 2 seasons of Lux Dance India Dance. He couldn't believe his eyes when a couple of kids began performing
the extremely difficult stunt dance "B-boying" in front of his car, standing on their hands and kicking away
vigorously.
Special security had to be called for at every school where DID Lil Masters conducted its auditions in Delhi,
Kolkata, Bangalore, Nagpur, Chandigarh, Lucknow, Indore, Baroda & Jaipur.
In Mumbai, the frenzy knew no bounds, what with as many as 500 families landing up the previous evening from
neighboring towns with "gaddas", food, water - all set for a night-cap on the road outside the audition venue!
