Competition starts and each dance school performs in order as called upon to the stage..
The first category is kids performance...
Kids from our KJ dance school gives their best and got applauses...
Next is the duet performance...
Jaya prays that it should turn out well... Simi is also restless as they both didn't have a last minute rehearsal as well... But Hari seems to be very cool and confident...
They stand in position and lights are on.. music starts to play.. They optd for Twist Dance...
Simi starts dancing but she is not comfortable dancing with Hari... He notices it and tries to make her comfortable... But when she was close to him, he whispered into her ears, I Love You Smitha she couldn't believe her ears.. and looks stunned... Now, he pulls her hand. and starts dancing... Automatically, she moved, rolled to whatever he did... It was like a magnet attracting towards it... And their chemistry worked out well... A huge applause after the performance to the satisfaction of everyone...
Simi goes inside to get ready for her next performance.. Hari comes and sits along with his family .. right in front of the stage..
Next comes the group performance by the girls.. Simi was dancing at the center of the stage... On seeing Hari who was looking at her from the gallery, goes blank and for a moment she forgot the steps and stand still... thinks of the words he whispered...
The dancers beside her, tried to cover up and hold her hand... She comes back to senses.. and continues... But it worked out well, as it suited for the lyrics at that point of time.. which was similar to her situation, that the girl is lost into thoughts... she being the center figure also was a favour... So it didn't seem like she missed at that point.. But Simi was not satisfied as she was at mistake..
End of the show...
Host : And its the time for us to know the results.. Here we go with the points for each categories..
