Dance+ 6: Salman Y Khan joins Punit Pathak and returning captain Shakti Mohan to mentor contestants

Dancing reality show Dance+ is returning with an all-new season on Disney+ Hotstar. Also returning with the 6th season will be director and choreographer Remo D’ Souza as a Super Judge. Coming back to the hosting space will be Baba Ragheshwar aka Raghav Juyal. Interestingly, the show will be streaming digitally first and well, which means audience can see it before they get to see it on TV. 

About the show, Remo D’ Souza said, “After the past two years, I find myself even more passionate about the craft of dancing. I am glad to make a comeback as the super judge on Dance+, the biggest dance reality show. This opportunity gives me a scope to share my knowledge of dance, something I dearly love and have built my life on. I know this season will be packed with many mind-blowing performances because Shakti, Salman and Punit are fantastic dancers themselves. What makes this season even more special is the fact that it’s premiering this September on Disney+ Hotstar first, ahead of TV, and viewers getting the chance to enjoy uninterrupted entertainment that we bring them.”

Stepping into the role of a captain for the first time ever is the outstanding dancer and choreographer Salman Y Khan. Joining him this season is the stunning and supremely talented goddess of contemporary dance Shakti Mohan along with Captain Cool - aka Punit Pathak.

Returning captain on the show, Punit J. Pathak said, “I have been waiting for the return of Dance+ ever since the last season ended. This season’s exclusive premiere on a platform like Disney+ Hotstar has me thrilled and excited. Mentoring talented individuals and innovating on new techniques on this show has almost been like going back to dance school. What makes this season more memorable is that my two friends - Shakti, will be returning as a captain along with the new captain, Salman, whose journey I’ve been following since the start.”

Shakti Mohan added, “My love for Remo sir and dance has got me back as a captain on the sixth season of Dance+, a show that enjoys a special place in the hearts of the viewers who have been with us for five strong seasons. I am up against two brilliant choreographers and friends which is sure to raise the bar of the performances in this season. This time, Dance+ is premiering exclusively on Disney+ Hotstar, giving us the golden opportunity to reach innumerable households across India, giving real talent a chance to be recognised.” 

Joining for the first time as the captain, Salman Y Khan said, “It is exciting to be united with my long-time friends Shakti and Punit, and mentor Remo D’Souza, on the Dance+ stage. Having followed the past five seasons of Dance+ so religiously, I’m ready to challenge myself as the first-time captain and lead my team to victory. The fact that Season 6 of Dance+ will be available on Disney+ Hotstar ahead of TV makes it even more special as viewers will not have to wait for an entire week to catch up on the action.”

The host for the sixth season of Dance+, Raghav Juyal said, “Returning to the Dance+ stage is like a reunion of friends and family. I have known each of the captains, and Remo sir for years now and the beauty of being the host here is that it doesn’t feel like a job. I can’t wait to be a part of this year’s new, and improved Dance+, that will be made available to millions of fans of the show this September, on Disney+ Hotstar, before being aired on TV. I will simply be myself and charm the judges, contestants and the viewers.”
