"Dance is a genre that has witnessed the greatest spike in viewership across the industry. 'Dil Dostii Dance' is the first ever fiction on dance that will re-invent the fiction genre in the country," Prem Kamath, Channel V general manager, said in a statement.
"While 'D3' simply tells a story of a girl and her love for dance, the show actually displays the passion and determination of the today's youth. It is their belief that a dream chased religiously can bring you immense success and personal satisfaction," Kamath added.
"Dil Dostii Dance" tells the story of a girl who fights against all odds and convention to pursue her biggest passion - dance. It also stars Kunwar Amar, again of "Dance India Dance" fame opposite Shakti.
The show goes on air Saturday night.
