'World of Dance' Season 3 champions The Kings shocked judges with their talent, but where are they now?
With their incredible energy and gravity-defying dance moves, Indian dance troupe ‘The Kings’ managed to secure victory during Season 3 of ‘World of Dance’. We last saw these talented dancers led by Suresh Mukund receive a long standing ovation from the judges- Jennifer Lopez, Ne-Yo, and Derek Hough during the finale episode after their award-winning performance.
So, what have these talented dancers been upto since winning the coveted title of ‘Best Dancer in the World’ and a whopping million dollars? In case you were wondering the same thing, don’t worry we got you covered. The dance troupe has been super busy since their win on ‘World of Dance’. Between their dance workshops and international tours, ‘The Kings’ sure have a lot on their plate.
The winning group comprised of Karthik Priyadarshan, Shijin Ramesh, Ritesh Vishwakarma, Mohan Pandey, Chandan Acharya, Sunny Chatterjee, Raja Das, Prem Bhawar, Charles Edward, Pratik Gojare, Hritik Gupta, Pavan Rao, Hardik Rawat, Akshay Varavdekar, and Neeraj Vishwakarma.
Mukund, the director, and choreographer of ‘The Kings’ has been very vocal about how winning the ‘World of Dance’ has opened many doors for them and given them a platform on an international scale. Shortly after winning the dance competition show, the group was presented with an opportunity of a lifetime- performing at Las Vegas. So, ‘The Kings’ ended up doing their first-ever international show in Vegas.
Mukund has also been nominated for an Emmy Award in the Outstanding Choreography for Variety or Reality Program category for the Kings' performances on 'World of Dance'. Although the group has made a decision to not participate in dance competition shows anymore, Mukund is still a judge on few of these competition shows back home in India. He is the judge on India's first virtual-dance competition show 'Dance is Life'. Mukund revealed that their group is also working towards making a biopic of their journey.
'World of Dance' season 4 premieres on Tuesday, May 26, at 10/9c only on NBC.
In an exclusive interview with MEA WorldWide (MEAWW), Mukund expressed how within just 24 hours of winning the competition show, they had been showered with fame and appreciation. He said, "We have been getting offers from all over the world for gigs, for choreography, for dance workshops. So things are gonna change for sure."
