About the Show
Super Dancer, branded with the tagline “Dance Ka Kal,” premiered September 10, 2016, produced by Frames Production for Sony Entertainment Television. The format pairs 12–16 young contestants (aged roughly 4 to 13) with professional “Super Guru” choreographers matched to their individual style. Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Geeta Kapur have judged every season to date, joined by filmmaker Anurag Basu for the first four seasons before he was replaced by choreographer Marzi Pestonji in Season 5. Paritosh Tripathi has hosted every season, with Rithvik Dhanjani co-hosting Seasons 1 through 4 and Jay Bhanushali co-hosting Season 2 specifically.
Season 1 (2016): Ditya Bhande
Season 1 ran September 10 to December 17, 2016, over 29 episodes with 12 contestants, hosted by Paritosh Tripathi and Rithvik Dhanjani. Nine-year-old Ditya Bhande from Mumbai won under Super Guru Ruel Dausan Varindani, taking home ₹15 lakh, a smartphone, and a gift hamper. Yogesh Sharma finished as runner-up with guru Vaibhav Ghuge. Bollywood stars Shraddha Kapoor and Aditya Roy Kapur presided over the finale.
Season 2 (2017–18): Bishal Sharma
Season 2 ran September 30, 2017, to March 24, 2018, over 51 episodes with 14 contestants. Jay Bhanushali joined as co-host alongside Paritosh Tripathi for this season only. Bishal Sharma from Jorhat, Assam, won with Super Guru Vaibhav Ghuge, with Vaishnavi Prajapati finishing runner-up under guru Manan Sachdeva.
Season 3 (2018–19): Rupsa Batabyal
Season 3 ran December 29, 2018, to June 23, 2019, over 52 episodes with 16 contestants — the largest cast among the first four seasons. Rupsa Batabyal from Kolkata won with Super Guru Nishant Bhat, with Tejas Varma as runner-up under guru Tushar Shetty.
Season 4 (2021): Florina Gogoi
Season 4 ran January 30 to October 8, 2021, over 57 episodes with 13 contestants — one of the franchise’s longest single-season runs. Florina Gogoi, also from Jorhat, Assam, won under Super Guru Tushar Shetty, continuing the judging panel of Shilpa Shetty, Geeta Kapur, and Anurag Basu, with Paritosh Tripathi and Rithvik Dhanjani hosting.
Season 5 (2025): Aadhyayasree Upadhyay & Sukriti Paul (Joint Winners)
Season 5 marked several changes for the franchise: Anurag Basu departed the judging panel after four seasons, replaced by choreographer Marzi Pestonji, while Rithvik Dhanjani stepped back from hosting, leaving Paritosh Tripathi to host solo. The season premiered July 19, 2025, skipping the traditional open-audition rounds and starting directly with 12 handpicked contestants aged 4 to 13, each paired with a Super Guru. Framed around the theme of the mother-child bond, the season concluded October 12, 2025, with a genuinely rare outcome — Aadhyayasree Upadhyay and Sukriti Paul were named joint winners, each taking home ₹10 lakh in prize money. Sukriti, from West Bengal, and Aadhyayasree’s choreographer Pratiksha Sutar both shared emotional posts thanking their mentors and families after the win.
Final Thoughts
Across five seasons, Super Dancer has leaned on an unusually stable core — Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Geeta Kapur judging every single season, and Paritosh Tripathi hosting throughout — while still finding ways to refresh the format, from Season 5’s mother-child theming to its rare joint-winner finale. That consistency, paired with the show’s genuine focus on nurturing young talent over manufactured drama, has helped it remain one of Indian television’s steadiest kids’ reality formats nearly a decade after its debut.
