India’s Best Dancer is all set to return with Season 5, promising a colourful celebration of “India Wala Dance” on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.
The new season boasts a star-studded judging panel featuring Jaaved Jaaferi, Karisma Kapoor, Geeta Kapur and Terence Lewis, while Haarsh Limbachiyaa returns as host.
Season 5 will blend nostalgia with fresh talent, as contestants from across the country showcase diverse dance forms inspired by Bollywood’s most-loved tracks. The show promises performances packed with technique, expression and individuality.
Sharing her excitement, Karisma Kapoor said, “Returning to this stage feels like coming home. Every dancer brings a piece of their soul and culture, and I’m ready to be moved by their passion once again.”
Jaaved Jaaferi, making a comeback to the judge’s chair after a decade, added, “I’m looking for that raw, infectious energy and personality that makes it impossible to look away.”
Meanwhile, Geeta Kapur said she wants performers who “dance not just with their feet, but with their hearts”, while Terence Lewis emphasised the importance of both precision and spirit in dance.
