When Master Terence Lewis was recently rehearsing with his proteges Kunwar Amarjeet and Shakti Mohan for their first big act on Zee TV's Lux Dance India Dance, he found them brilliant as individuals but lacking in chemistry.
For a passionate contemporary style rendition of the romantic number Khuda Jaane, he wanted to see a spark between the young two some. He wanted to see two lovers in the throes of passion and not two great dancers going about a choreographed sequence mechanically.
Terence said, "This act will be a waste if you don't give me some real chemistry." When after repeated attempts Terence still didn't feel the magic, he took the shy twosome aside and said, "Guys, sit together. Hold hands, look into each other's eyes. Smile at each other, pay each other compliments... laugh a little and come back to me in an hour."
When the duo returned, they had big smiles on their faces and if the buzz is anything to go by, Kunwar and Shakti set the stage ablaze with a spectacular performance in the latest episode of Lux Dance India Dance on Zee TV this Friday, 8th January.
When we spoke to Shakti Mohan, she said, "Oh yes. Kunwar and I come from really different backgrounds and were a little awkward around each other initially. But Terence Sir made us spend some one-on-one time and I realized Kunwar's a really sweet guy. We were completely at ease with each other after that. I hope you like our performance."
Trust Master Terence Lewis to lend his magic touch and bring a dance act alive!
