Recently a lot of emails have been pouring in asking how to participate in Sony’s Boogie Woogie or what is the best way to get enrolled for an audition. Many know auditions are mostly over in most of the places for this year but this news should not make you feel low as the door to show case your talent is not closed yet.
Boogie Woogie Rules and regulations ask you to register for an audition in your nearby location but for some reason you are not able to register then there is nothing to worry about. You should send a video CD of your performance to the Mumbai office and you will be called upon based on your talent. I wrote about video CD in my previous articles too and it should be treated important. Why? Here is a scoop – the auditions that were held in different cities in India were mostly held by the Boogie Woogie team for recording purpose to be screened later. The results were not announced instantly. The participants were videotaped based on 2 minute of their performance and were sent back. These videos were or will be screened by Sony’s Boogie Woogie and will be called upon later if they meet the talent criteria. So you see whether you went for the audition or send them a video CD, it is going to be the same thing. What I see is - there is still time to show what you got and this is what I love about Boogie Woogie – nobody looses.
So if you were part of the audition and are waiting for the results to come, then please wait patiently as they say patience bear sweet fruit. But if you desperately wanted to go for an audition and did not get through to all those busy lines or unanswered lines and missed out on a face to face audition – don’t worry. You still got time. Do this:
- Get yourself in a costume.
- Get some help and make a Video CD of your performance.
- Choose a song that does not belong to the companies that we talked about yesterday.
- Choose a song that does not have any vulgar words in it.
- Make sure your CD is good quality - meaning a video and sound should both be clear.
- Label your CD neatly with your name, song that you are performing and the movie it belongs to along with singer, Music Company.
- Write a cover letter showing your interest in audition for boogie woogie and along with your application, mail your Video CD to:
VIDEOCON BOOGIE WOOGIE,

- Last but not least - Pray and stay positive!

When you video tape, tape in sufficient light. Also make sure no one is talking in middle of your performance. See that there is no disturbance. Please don’t get diverted while performing. Keep your expressions in place. Make sure your facial expressions and your movements are all in sync with the song that you have chosen to perform. Think about this - while recording your video CD, in case you go wrong, you can always correct that. That is so much better then the one time chance you would get in face to face auditions. So prepare well, do your best and leave the rest to God.
We do have Boogie Woogie phone numbers in contact but I would strongly advice NOT to call them. They don’t encourage phone calls and plus you don’t want to do anything that might irritate them and ruin your chances. I listed their “official website” and also their email address above for your convenience. You will always find their information handy on this site.
Lastly - remember, if you need any advice, suggestion or help, feel free to reach out to me. This site is solely a fans site, it is your site and you are free to discuss anything. Good Luck!!

Hi. This is Haresh and I’m software engg by profession. I’m very much inspired by the Boogie Woogie show but I could not find any dance teacher for improvise my dancing skills. If any one could suggest me contact information of teacher specialised in western dance would be of great help. Thanks, Haresh

Also I forgot to mention. I’ve heard that there are in-house choreographers in Boogie Woogie, so if any one could provide me their number also.
Thanks,
Haresh

we dont know about the in house choreographers haresh.. all we hear or see them are on the show itself… if you need to contact them, maybe you need to contact boogie woogie official address which is above.
apart from that try and google.. you will find plenty of dance teachers in every area who can help you brush up your skills. Good Luck Haresh!!

Thanks for your reply. It was quick !
I tried doing googling but could not find it. All pages gives search results for only 2-3 people and they dont teach western dance. Anyways, thanks.
Regards,
Haresh

Well
I’m from mumbai and I dint want online dance. It is difficult to see computer screen while dancing 
I would rather prefer seeing mirror. I will try doing more googling. Thanks Admin. (I wish all admins would be like you. I’m in IT industry and our admins are #DFGe%^#$^ERGTe) 
February 12th, 2009 at 6:36 pm
ha ha ha Haresh I hear you!! I too got those type of people at work especially my boss.. he is the worlds biggest “K”.. lol.. go ahead and imagine all K words.. lol
but thanks for the compliment - we are here to help each other.
February 12th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
hey i was looking in Mumbai… u got Shamik Davar, Saroj Khan and many prominent dance schools .. check them out .. hope u find good results
February 13th, 2009 at 4:48 pm
am lucky i dont hv any such people to work with. i wk with my husband and if he acts nutty i give him good LOLZ
admin what comes with k?
February 19th, 2009 at 12:52 am
That is a very good idea of blowing out your frustration by using ‘K’s. Hmmm Shamik Davar.. he has dance floors of golden sheets! He charges like anything. 5000 per month and to be very preicise, 5ooo for 8 hrs. I find it too much.
February 19th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
oh wow.. thats expensive… i guess people get famous so that they can charge that money.. lol
i think you should consider those online classes.. they are free and in the meantime u should continue ur search. i put an article asking various teachers and schools to respond with their contacts so that we can put it on the blog database but no one responded yet.
February 20th, 2009 at 6:41 pm
if a person goes and is trained by the shiamak davar insitute will they still be able to participate in boogie woogie?
February 24th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
hi pooja…i dont see any reason why they shouldn’t be able to participate… if a person is good in dancing then he or she should get a chance doesn’t matter which background they come from but also depends on how good the other dancers are who came to compete. they may surprise to be better then the ones who graduate from reputed schools … not always high profile or high paid schools produce good quality… they may help in polishing and marketing better but eventually it all depends on how hard a individual is working to prove himself or herself as the best.
