South Asian Dance Final
Five contestants compete in the South Asian Dance Final of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Young Dancer 2019.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Young Dancer returns for a third series as a showcase for the very best young dance talent in the UK. The competition is open to 16-21 year olds across four categories – South Asian, Contemporary, Ballet and Street Dance.
Presented by Anita Rani and Ore Oduba, the series gets underway with the South Asian Final which features two of the most popular classical Indian Dance styles – Kathak and Bharatanatyam.
We meet the five dancers competiting and follow them on their journey as they prepare for the category final, held at The Lowry, where they will be judged by a panel of experts: Bharatanatyam dancer, choreographer and film-maker Seeta Patel, leading Kathak artist Gauri Sharma Tripathi, and our adjudicator across all the categories, dancer, spoken word artist and director Jonzi D.
For one of the dancers a place in the Grand Final awaits, with the opportunity to dance on stage at one of Britain’s leading dance venues, The Birmingham Hippodrome.
The South Asian Dance finalists are Aishani Ghosh, Mahika Gautam, Sundaresan Ramesh, Tulani Kayani-Skeef and Shree Savani.
