Quit DID as I....Terence Lewis

Choreographer Terence Lewis, who attained fame as one of the judges in reality show Dance India Dance (DID), says he decided to quit the show as he felt the need for a change and to explore.

"I am completely indebted to Zee TV for giving me DID as it brought me recognition and made me a household name. It was DID that gave me the platform to connect with audience. I will miss the show," Lewis told PTI.

Lewis has now taken over the task of judging Chak Dhoom Dhoom Team Challenge, along with actor-dancer Javed Jaffery and sultry actress Mallika Sherawat.

"It was time to do something different and move on. And by move on I don't mean you cut off your relationship. I wanted to explore and experiment other things. One must learn to change with time.

"TV connects you with the audience which films can't do. One becomes the dinner table discussion. We are almost there in their house," he said.

Chak Dhoom Dhoom Team Challenge, which went on air Saturday, has 12 teams, between the age group of six to sixty, performing in groups of four or more.

"With group dance one can explore things like a movie theme, create stories, drama. Group dancing is new to television. It is an international culture that is still growing in India," Lewis said
