Concept

The show aims to find a child with the potential to be the future of dance.[2]

After the initial auditions and mega auditions, 12 contestants are selected to be competing for the title of Dance Ka Kal (future of dance). They are each paired with one choreographer who train, choreograph acts and also perform with their contestant. The dancers perform on Saturdays and along with their choreographers on Sunday. The performances are voted by the audience every week on the website or the SonyLiv App. On the basis of the number of votes, one kid is being eliminated every week.

About Unique contestants

A boy named Harsh Dhara came for the show and the judges selected him for mega in the middle of his audition. After his performance, it was revealed that the boy had no mother and both he and his father was unable to speak or hear anything. Later on, Sony Entertainment Television decided to treat him and the judges promised him direct entry into the grand premiere. He came back in the wildcard round. His disease was almost cured. He performed for some time but the judges did not choose him so he was unable to continue.
