The judges had plenty to choose from as they judged the contestants on the basis of their choreography, expressions and execution among other things.

They danced with energy and never missing a beat as the crowd cheered them all with full enthusiasm.

Alongside this, Room 127 played host to the Mime competition in which participants pulled off brilliant impressions through just their bodies and terrific expressions to which the audience responded with applause aplenty.
