The dance group has already got appreciation from the chief minister, who watched the show on television, spoke to team leader Krishna Mohan Reddy over phone Sunday and congratulated him.

Relatives and neighbours of the artistes have been praying for their success.

Mostly below 22, none of them are professional dancers. Their 26-year-old dance teacher Reddy said he also never had any formal training.

They danced to the tune of 'Sare Jahan Se Acha' and the audience and the judges -- Shekhar Kapur, Kirron Kher and Sonali Bendre -- were spellbound.

'It's a world class act. I have travelled the world, but today I can proudly say I am an Indian,' said Kapur after their performance.

'We are practising for more than eight hours every day. We hope people of our state will vote for us in large numbers,' Reddy told IANS over phone from Mumbai.
