Marzi Pestonji: Dance is a universal language. You do not always need vocals to express what you are feeling
Marzi Pestonji Choreographer Marzi Pestonji is returning as a judge on the fifth season of the children's dance reality show Super Dancer, which is making a comeback after four years. While many in the industry jump from one project to another, Marzi prefers taking his time between shows. He says, 'Sometimes you take a back seat, reinvent yourself, and come back. It feels nicer and fresher.' He adds, 'A children's dance show is the purest form of performance. The kids come with their hearts in the right place, no agenda, just the desire to dance and be seen. They are so well trained, they know exactly how to perform and show incredible maturity. We do not treat them like kids. Their mindset and talent are so advanced that they make our job easier.' While many feel classical dance is fading from the spotlight, Marzi disagrees. He says, 'We have a Bharatanatyam dancer this season who is phenomenal. It would be an understatement to say that. I believe classical dance provides the best foundation. If your roots are strong, your tree grows beautifully. Besides, I feel if everyone is doing only hip hop, you will be bored in five minutes. But on our show, you will see contemporary, classical, hip hop, Bollywood and drama. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Villas For Sale in Dubai Might Surprise You Dubai villas | search ads Get Deals Undo It keeps the standard high.' Known for his warmth and authenticity, he is often noticed for his unique communication style. Ask about it, and he replies with a smile, 'This is the Parsi. This is what you get, and I cannot fake it. I have worked with many celebrities, and they respect me for what I bring to the table. Speaking a certain way does not matter, if I make sure I get my point across. That is what counts. In any case, dance is a universal language. Even if I do not say a word, the students understand. It is soulful. You do not need vocals to express what you are feeling.'
