Boogie Woogie was an Indian Television dance show that aired on Sony Entertainment Television. In 2008, the series was named with the "Videocon" because it was sponsored by Videocon. Debuting in 1995, the show is hosted by popular Indian film and television personalities, Naved Jaffrey and Ravi Behl, who are also the producers and creators of the show. It also has Javed Jaffrey, who appears as the permanent celebrity judge. The show was relaunched by Sony Entertainment Television in 2003 [1]. It has become the longest lasting dance show in India, going for its 15th year on air this year.

The dance show has become so popular on Indian television that they have been afforded the opportunity to produce special championship shows, such as kids' championships, teen championships and celebrity championships, in which various Indian celebrities, such as Juhi Chawla, Esha Deol, Dia Mirza, Govinda, Vivek Oberoi and Ritesh Deshmukh have participated. According to the Sony Entertainment Television Asia website, "there are no prizes for winning...loads of accolades, applause and appreciation".[2]

The show held auditions for its new season contestants from February 16–20 in Mumbai. The new season began on Sony Entertainment Television Asia in mid-March.[3]

The series ended its long running season on October 2, 2009, and is replaced by the new dance series Dance Premier League. However, the series is said to be return after Dance Premier League ends.[4]
