Shantanu Maheshwari is amongst the most popular dancers in the nation and has been winning hearts with his innate talent and cute looks as well. 

In some amazing news for Shantanu, the dancer and his crew Desi Hoppers have become the first ever Indian dance crew, to compete on NBC's dance reality show World of Dance, which will begin airing from May.

This marks the second time for the Khatron Ke Khiladi winner to be in a Hollywood show as his crew brought the World of Dance Championship trophy home in 2015 on which a TV show starring them was made.

Shantanu and the crew had earlier gotten a chance to showcase their dancing skills in front of Jennifer Lopez, Ne-Yo and Derek Hough as well as Jenna Dewan at Universal Studios, LA, where the show was shot.

Speaking to us about his experience, Shantanu excitedly shared, "Our crew is extremely proud to have got a chance to represent India in the first 3 rounds of such a huge platform. All of us absolutely credit our mentor and the founder of the crew, Palki Malhotra, for supporting us through all those rigorous late-night rehearsals before going off to LA, and showing so much faith and determination in each one of us."

"The entire experience of being on World of Dance and getting to showcase our dancing skills in front of such amazing talents like Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough, Neyo, Paula Abdul and Jenna Dewan was surreal for us all! Our dance performances had a mix of our culture with the west, and were highly appreciated by all of them," Shantanu added.
