Ankitta Sharma – I think dance is something that exists in every person, they just have to find it. You don’t need to be technically correct at it; just find the rhythm and if you do it from your heart, it will always be beautiful to look at and that’s my funda. I am not a trained dancer but I have so many fans only because of my dancing. It’s because I dance from my heart and I really enjoy doing that and that’s what people connect to.

Faisal Khan –It is a big thing for me because dance has given me the platform to excel in this industry. I had different choices when I was a kid but I chose to dance. I have got all the shows just because of dance. I did an historic act in Dance India Dance that made me bag Maharana Pratap. Dance has changed my life and I would like to thank God for bringing me in this field and I hope that I will keep progressing.
