This is Boogie Woogie’s fan site and so everything is fair in fan’s world. When we love someone, we support them whole heartedly! Everything related to them, becomes our business! We follow our heart to the core and that is why we are here showing our love and appreciating each and every action.

Boogie Woogie was, is and will always be the Best Dance show ever and there is absolutely no doubt it. It has produced many finest dancers and continues to shine bright in its talent search.

Jai Kumar Nair Boogie Woogie’s one such fine search who has been spreading his good name all over is Jai Kumar Nair.  We did pay him a tribute last year and also has been following him closely ever since. Once a favorite, always a favorite in our dictionary and when the favorite turns out to be Jai, then we are even ready to break all our rules!

After winning Mahayudh competitions, Jai not only continued to dance professionally but also made sure to practice to improve his skills to better them. He belongs to Boogie Woogie’s list of finest dancers. Jai is multi talented as he is not only is a thorough dancing professional but also is a singer, composer and an artist. He is a perfect Indian Idol! He has been a part of another dance reality show and has been surprising week after week with his flawless superb performances. In my eye, Jai is the BEST dancer of Dance India Dance! As he moves to finals fetching the highest votes this week and it is also said that he succeeded in getting Mahaguru’s Mithun Da’s salute, we like to wish Jai all the very best for the finals. We were, are and will always be very proud of him.

There is a quote that goes; "The experienced mountain climber is not intimidated by a mountain - he is inspired by it. The persistent winner is not discouraged by a problem - he is challenged by it.  Mountains are created to be conquered; adversities are designed to be defeated; problems are sent to be solved. A true winner realizes all of it." Jai fits the quote to the core! He plans and works very hard for all of his winnings. He absolutely deserves everyone’s applauds.

Jai is Boogie Woogie India’s favorite and We support him 100 %.

To us Jai, you are a clear winner! God Bless You!!

All the BEST for the finals - Chak De Phatte!!

jai They say sometimes one life is not enough to live the good times. And same way I feel one article is not enough to write for the multi talented Jai Kumar Nair.

As I pay him tribute, I also want the members of this website to relive the moment that we witnessed last year. Writing on Jai and not being able to see his dance videos would leave the article incomplete.

So here I am attaching some of the videos - I am sure you will not only enjoy but all my members who wish to be on Boogie Woogie will surely get inspired by him. There is lots to learn from this young champion. He can be a perfect role model.

Enjoy!!

Have a Great Day!!

Has it ever happened to you that you saw someone dance and you were awe and full of praises that you didn’t wanted the performance to ever end? Did you ever went YouTubing and spent all night watching many dance performances of same person? Well I did! And I am not making up for the sake of the article.

3 Last year during Mahayudh, I totally cherished all of his performances. It was no surprise to see him lift the trophy with his co participant to win the title. And since then until now, though the performances are still fresh on my mind, I browsed through his YouTube videos another time so that I can be precise in putting this article together. It was 10 in night when I started watching his videos and when I realized I would be late for next days work and that I must shut my computer down, it was past 4 am. I then realized that I was totally lost in watching that I lost out on time. Yes that is the effect he has on you. He is totally mesmerizing. He personified his aura on us last year and left us speechless.

Yes my friends I am talking about none other then Jai Kumar Nair – Naam toh suna hoga?

BoogieWoogieIndia.Com is very proud to pay its tribute to this multi talented and very well deserving gentleman.

009 Jai started his dance at a very young age at about 10. With his sheer determination and hard work he is stepping faster towards his goal. At this young age where he witnessed success and gained great applauds, he still has his head over his shoulder and has his foot firmly on ground. He is modest, down to earth yet stylish and he is a bundle of great talent and when he dances, he can easily lift your spirits up!

Not many know but Jai is also a very talented musician and composer. He composes his own music and also is an awesome singer. He is a promising upcoming artist who I feel will surely make it big one day!

2Talking about his individuality and talent he says: “I have fire in my belly to succeed and with support from home I followed my dream. Starting of my initial career with performances locally and then jumping on to a bigger stage which took me all over India and parts of the world with professionals alike made me more confident, and fired up a passion of being one of the best in the field of dance which included Indo-Jazz, Funk, Hip Hop, Disco, Contemporary, Afro-Jazz, Rock ‘n’ Roll, Salsa & many more”

After winning the “Mahayudh” title, he got an offer for a movie. BoogieWoogieIndia is pleased to announce that his first movie “Fast Forward” is all set to release this year.

Rehaan KhanAkshay Kapoor Fast Forward is a musical venture of Anjum Rizvi which has been directed by Zaigham Ali Sayed. It also features Rehaan Khan and Akshay Kapoor. We hope and pray that this movie turn out to be a blockbuster hit and opens up many channels for Jai.

One of Jai’s dreams is to open a Music Academy. He does not belong to that category of people who would keep their skills hidden and don’t want to pass it on to others. He thinks differently. He feels knowledge grows only when it is spread. He never hesitates to learn new stuff and always feel there is room for improvement. He has worked hard towards his dreams and has opened up a dance school called “WOW! WITH JUZJAi”. He also added three more centers to his school in West Mumbai that will start from this September 30th 2008.

11 Jai recently also graced a Spring Salsa event called “Spring in the Air” that was held at “The Orchids”. The others to accompany him at this event were Suresh Menon, Amrita Prakash. Jai celebrated Malayalam New Year with the Mexican colors in Mumbai.

DNA - WEST COAST - 6th June 2007 On behalf of BoogieWoogieIndia.Com, We like to Congratulate Jai! It is pure honor to pay him tribute today. “Jai - we wish you success and the Very Best of Best in all your Endeavors. May you fulfill all your dreams and do remember – WE ARE VERY PROUD OF YOU!!”

BoogieWoogieIndia.Com also has decided to sponsor two deserving candidates to learn dance at “WOW WITH JUZJAI”. To find out the credibility criteria, you may email at sansuiboogiewoogie@gmail.com or contact Jai. The basic concept behind this sponsoring is to help deserving candidates who have the skills and determination to learn the art but do not have finances to join a good school.

Remember to Dream – they do come true!!

Watch out the first teaser for his upcoming movie “Fast Forward”

thumbs20070709200239ka0 Sony Television’s Boogie Woogie follow some of the rules very religiously. Please read them carefully while you prepare yourself for either your audition or for a performance at Boogie Woogie.

In a way, I feel it is great that they list all their conditions in black and white well in advance as this will give a participant a chance to prepare better and there are no surprises at later stage. Plus I do applaud them for keeping the environment clean of any obscenity.

Please see below to read some of the critical rules:

  • You will have to go for your auditions with three songs. You need to give them your selection well before the contest. Boogie Woogie administration will have the final say in selecting the song which you will get to perform out of the three songs that were selected. Please note that they are very particular about the song selection and no song that you select should have any vulgarity or obscene language. Please be careful in selecting your songs.
  • You are responsible to provide your own music CD that you will be performing on. So please make sure to have a backup of your CD in case the first CD has some malfunction.
  • Only Solo performances are allowed at the audition and only one dance item is allowed to perform per contestant.
  • Duration of your performance has to be limited to 3 minutes. Any performance that exceeds the time limit is given penalty which will reduce your chances to get selected for the next round.
  • You are allowed to use free standing decorations or props such as plants, small furniture etc that can be set up in less than one minute at your own will and cost. You cannot take any decorations that will pose safety hazard at the sets. Candles or Dia’s are not allowed. The decorations that you want to take with you are your own responsibility and Boogie Woogie will not pay for it.

A lot of times even the strongest dancer looses by a point or two while competing in competitions. Many of us wonder where we went wrong. Dancing steps were unique and perfect yet they did not score the marks that they deserve. What can be the reason? Well let us look at some of the finer points that are essential for dancing competitions. It will be a good exercise especially with so many auditions happening right now for Boogie Woogie.

The most essential ingredient that you must take along with you is your “Attitude”. Attitude scores a lot – lot more then your own hard work or anything else in this world. Bad attitude – a looser big time! So what do we need to do to keep a check on our attitude? First and foremost thing is to think before you utter a single word. Keep your conversations KIND. Kindness is always appreciated. We did witness that in some of the shows didn’t we? Especially in public voting, a person with kind and humble attitude always gain. So be it! Practice kindness along with you dancing skills.

Smile!! They say “smile” always brings back a smile. A smile has the power to heal a lot of stuff. It sure can make a judge in bad mood see your performance in a different perspective. A perfect dance but a stiff no smiling face may ruin a good performance. Now  that is another matter if the dance that you are performing is a sad or angry number – then in that case you sure have to keep your smile miles away but make sure to bring your smile back as soon as you finish your performance and have to face the judges.

No Argument what so ever!! My boss at my previous job “George Brunath” who is my mentor has taught me a lot. The most important thing that he taught me was not to argue especially with your boss. In competitions, a judge is your boss. Just listen to him with a smile – don’t get into arguments even though you strongly feel that you are right. That might ruin your chances to go forward. My boss always told me there are three rules – First rule, Boss is right! Second rule – Boss is right! If you don’t agree with the first two rules then consider third rule and that is “Follow first and second rule”!! So without much ado, I would suggest that when you are pointed out your mistakes just hear them out and acknowledge by saying “You will perform better next time”

Go to have fun! Winning or loosing is not all. Keep one thing in mind that if you loose this competition or even loose out in audition, it is NOT the end of the world!  There is always tomorrow. Nothing is ending today. Till the time this earth is rotating, there will be many opportunities that will keep coming your way. Go with a positive attitude but be serious in what you are doing. Give your best shot and leave the rest to God. If you make it, well and good or else you surely will make it tomorrow – don’t give up and don’t feel let down. A lot of times failures teaches us more then what a success can teach. Learn from it – Improve yourself! Thomas Alva Edison was once asked “how does he feel that he failed 99 times before he finally succeeded inventing a bulb the 100th time? To this he politely answered, “I now knows 99 ways of how not to make a bulb.” So have fun no matter what you face!

Last but not least for today’s article – Use your Sense of Humor!! I personally love and adore people who have sense of humor. Humor eases a lot of things. It makes life so much less complicated and plus people love you more because you are a happy person. If by keeping your humor in place you win few new friends or gets to be a favorite, nothing wrong in it right? It is only beneficial to you. And I believe everyone does has a good sense of humor – you just have to dig it out from within you and if you feel you don’t then please do watch lot of comedy shows or see/read cartoons in your free time. These will help you develop your taste in humor plus it will surely keep you happy. Remember, a happy and jovial contestant everybody would want to see in the next round.

A hard working jovial contestant with right attitude and sense of humor – a sure shot winner all the way!! Now all you have to do is concentrate on your dancing skills and think of innovative ways to impress your judges.
