Judge Remo D'Souza  is very happy with the  level  of performances on  Star Plus dance reality show Dance Plus 2 . “I  have always maintained that a show runs only  on  talent, and we have oodles of that on our show. Every year the level of difficulty  only goes up  and unfortunately  those contestants  who can’t match up get left  out .”
 

When pointed out that Dance  Plus  2  is also dong well on the ratings front, he says  “ Audiences appreciates  reality hence we try to be as honest as possible ”  
So  you feel other dance  shows  are not real? “ All the shows of which I have been a part of (some season of  DID, Jhalak) were real. But  I have  heard some shows do bend the rules. I really don’t know.” 
 

He also credits the new dancing boom in  India to reality shows “There is so much awareness even among the audiences, forget the  participants.  They know all the various kinds of dance forms. The biggest beneficiaries of this boom is Bollywood. We have got a large number of fresh, talented choreographers to try out. I have already selected one group and if more match up to my requirement,  I will give them opportunities as well.”
 

In closing   Remo says he looks out for passion and seriousness about dance in contestants. “The talent factor is looked at by the mentors.”
