Actor Rithvik Dhanjani has been signed on to host upcoming dance reality show So You Think You Can Dance - Ab India Ki Baari.

Dhanjani has previously anchored the shows India’s Best Dramebaaz, Yeh Hai Aashiqui and Nach Baliye 7.

“I’m excited to be part of the world’s biggest dance show. What attracted me towards the show, apart from its global popularity, was the format of street versus stage,” Dhanjani said in a statement.

“So far we have seen many dance forms. But a concept like this is unexplored and I am sure that the audience will be thrilled to see such a show,” he added.

Internationally, So You Think You Can Dance features a tiered format wherein dancers from different styles enter open auditions in multiple cities to showcase their talent.

If allowed to move forward, they are put through additional rounds of auditions to test their ability to adapt to different styles. At the end of this process, finalists are chosen.

So You Think You Can Dance - Ab India Ki Baari will feature actress Madhuri Dixit Nene, and choreographers Terence Lewis and Bosco Martis as the three judges.

The show will be aired on &TV.
