Just Dance is an Indian television dance-reality series on Star Plus. The series is judged by well-known Bollywood film actor Hrithik Roshan along with choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant and film director Farah Khan. Hrithik Roshan rehearsed for 5 hours a day for 5 days to shoot for the promotional video of the series, which is choreographed by shows judge, Vaibhavi Merchant. It premiered on 18 June 2011 at 9 PM in India and aired every Saturday and Sunday until 1 October 2011.
The 52 dancers were selected from India and outside of India. They were invited to Mumbai for further competition to select the top 12 dancers for the show. The top 12 contestants were decided for the show but due to some reasons, 13 dancers were selected.
On the day of every elimination Hrithik Roshan gave a check of three Lakh rupees to the eliminated contestant from his personal account (without contribution of TV channel).
The Season 1 of the competition was won by Ankan Sen from Kolkata, while Surjeet Bansal from Delhi won the second spot. Ankan Sen was awarded with Rs 10 million and a Maruti Suzuki Swift car. Hrithik personally rewarded Surjeet with 1 million rupees and he also received a Maruti Suzuki Swift car. Both of them got a contract with Star Plus. Karan got a trophy and a Rs 300,000 check from Hrithik.
The show was produced by Sol Production. Maruti Suzuki India Ltd and Cadbury India Ltd were the main sponsors of the show. Around 150 people including cast and crew are working on production team. Actor Hrithik Roshan will make his television debut from Just Dance, produced at nearly Rs. 40 million per episode. Hrithik Roshan has been paid 17.5 million INR per episode which makes him the highest paid Bollywood actor in television entertainment. In terms of scale, this could be among the costliest television productions in the Hindi entertainment genre.
