lemme try and help:

They mean to ask this in hindi: Kia aap dance karne ke liye peda hue hain? which will translate to "are you born to dance?"

If they said were you born to dance...it will be like they are referring to someone who may not be alive or is done with dancing and they are analysing the contestant. I dunno how to explain it right, but try and translate it in hindi...it will be: Kia ap dance ke liye peda hue thay?

I'm pretty sure it's Are You Born To Dance?

Because it is a rhetorical question

It's not wrong if asked directly w.r.t. to looking at a person's inner self.

Are you born to dance is a reflection of AM I BORN TO DANCE, as opposed to was I born to dance.

So keeping that in mind, yes, it's grammatically correct to say, "Are you born to dance?"
