Tell us about the 'Sirasa Dancing Stars'. How was this idea formed?

The Presentors :- Nirosha Perera & Suraj Mapa

"This is another programme related to reality TV. 'Sirasa Dancing Stars' follows the success of 'Sirasa Superstars'. We noted that such programmes relating to stars performing on stage are very popular among audience around the world.

Stars from diverse fields: actors, vocalists, sportsmen and sportswomen take part in these dance competitions. However they have to choose a professional dancer as their dance partner. The duo has to plan their dance routine. The spectators can expect a difference style of dance as the theme changes in each of the rounds.

A panel of judges [Ravindra Randeniya,Rosy Senanayaka,Bathiya,And now there's Sabeetha Perera also(not in the photo)]compromising veterans in the music and cinema industry will advise and grade them. All this will be captured on camera. Then the rest is up to the audience. They decide whom to eliminate and whom to keep for the next round."

How many contestants will there be in this contest?

"We have engaged 10 male stars and 10 female stars for the event. All together there will be 20 celebrities.

That makes 20 partners competing for the title. We hope to present five partners per segment. Only four of the partners competing will make it to the next round.

The programme will be telecast for around six months on weekends."

How did you choose the contestants?

"We phoned most of the stars and held a discussion with them on how the programme is going to proceed. Around 75 per cent were taken up with the idea because they had seen similar programmes telecast on Indian television channels."

What is in store for the winners?

"They will each receive a car or cash prizes."

Who are the contributors to this project?

"Putting together a reality show is no easy task because there are a number of cameras from which separate recordings are done.

We have Dhammika Fonseka and Thushan Karunaratne as executive producers. Sisil Ratnayake is the set designer.

Nalaka Dayanda is the editor of the show and Kenneth Weerakkody is the cameraman."

'Sirasa Dancing Stars' is telecast on Sirasa TV on Saturdays and Sundays.
