Marked by an eclectic mix of contestants, Dance Deewane will once again give a lifetime opportunity to the deserving ones to showcase their talent and stand out. Be it the husband-wife duo Shilpa and Ajay from Generation 3 who will impress everyone with their finesse, Nagpur’s Piyush Gurbhele from Generation 2 who fearlessly performs energetic acts, Gunjan and Sohail from Generation 1 are known for their firecracker performances, the season will unleash many hidden gems from the nooks and crannies of the country. Apart from these, Uday Singh a find from Madhya Pradesh and Aman Kumar Raj from Ranchi are set to take over the dance floor.
