The competitions were judged by Vydhurya Sree, choreographer, dancer and the founder of ASV Dancing Stars Institute.

"In a group dance, it is important that every member dances and with proper coordination," Vydhurya said while addressing the audience.

"While judging a dance competition, apart from choreography other aspects like song, costume, make-up, energy and expression also matters," she said.

The highlight of the last day was the beautiful performance by the judge herself.
