Making sure that girls will have all the fun, Chithu Pradeeep, Malavika Krishnadas, Shifana Musthafa and Swarna Thomas have breezed into the finals, setting the stage for a spectacular clash on the 3rd of April.
Super Dancer Junior-2 had become something of a cult show commanding the following of millions around the globe, who tune in with something akin to religious fervor at 8 pm, every Monday to Friday.

Malavika hailing from Palakkad, the complete danseuse who floored Kala Master with her effortless mastery in every genre of dance is aiming to cap her many feathered hat with the coveted title.
Chithu Pradeep, the tenacious lass from Kollam who waltzed back from the brink of elimination with a string of astounding performances, declared firmly that to be Super Dancer Junior was the greatest ambition of her life, to up the ante.
Shifana Musthafa, the petite bombshell from Ernakulam who grittily overcame numbing pain and a fractured arm, earned the respect and admiration of even Sudha Chandran,to storm into the finals.
Swarna Thomas, the strikingly good looking, heroine-in-the-making came all the way from Maharashtra to dazzle home crowds with her looks and grace.
