I agree. I salute Salman for doing the act, it was very brave of him. I agree that we should have more traditional dance, but it doesn't mean Terence's dances aren't amazing! His first choreography, with Mayuresh, Kiran and Shubho was Bollywood, wasn't it?

--till date I've seen 2 life-risky stunts performed in the show: on March 28th..

1. by Salman (fire stunt)
2. by Mayurish (hanging from hoop stunt)
--few points I'd like to highlight is:
--the Choreographers attitude of their contestants taking this risk---where Remoji seemed to be concerned more with the performance and Terenceji clenched his heart saying he had 50 heart attacks and was downright worried there's no accident even if the performance lacks.🤗
--Although both were stunts, it's a show of entertainment & DANCE...THIS IS A DANCE SHOW--
⭐️👍🏼Mayurish's Stunt Performance was ALL ABOUT DANCE (a proper dance infact which can be used to evaluate a dancer in a Dance Competition)!! --I'm glad that both 27th & 28th the correctly well deserved DANCE was recognized & awarded in the end to Mayurish--Format, details, movements...all excellent & outstanding...
😕 But Salman's performed Stunt (besides the cartwheel flips) had like NO DANCE in it!! IT'S MORE OF BEAUTIFUL ART & CULTURE THAT WAS DISPLAYED ALONG WITH A STUNT(NOT PROPER DANCE FOR A COMPETITION). Is this the same choreographer who stated Mandakani's Peacock Dance as having very little dance in it and advised that Props should enhance dance not block, and so pure DANCE is what we want to see here to pick who's the best. I mean even Mandakani's Peacock Performance had ALOT MORE DANCE IN IT THAN SALMAN"S FIRE STUNT PERFORMANCE. Hats off to Salman for his courage of the stunt. I don't second guess that even Paulson or Mangesh would've hesitated to do it either. As for Salman's choreographer i'd just say that, "One should stay true to their words or criticisms said on any evaluation of a dancer---not just going along with it when it benefits you and using it another time to bash another."
--Salman also states at the end of his "Fire Act" i'd call it---that, "People are going into International Dance Forms, but i wanna show we have alot more in India"--->something along lines which Indirectly points out to "Terence's Versatile" forms which he's shown us. Firstly, Remoji did not try anything new which hasn't been seen. Remoji's a very good choreographer for sure, but his versatility lack in International Dance forms---hence, I was VERY surprised to see one of his students make a remark on it!! Fact is that All of these 3 choreographers have displayed Indian dances well, and Terence has further shown the International forms which deserve praise, not indirect remarks out of hidden Jealousy.
--Respect is not given, it's earned---and for some reason the more respect which i've gained for Terenceji, the more i'm losing for Remoji's by seeing his attitude come across (even now through his students). I still Love All the Choreographers as I think they're all very very good. 👏



Fantastic post!👏👏👏 I agree with each and every point you've made! This is exactly what I felt after watching both performances.....Remo and Terrence's approaches to this competition are miles apart.....and I have to say I have a LOT more respect for Terrence as a person, a teacher and a mentor....the way he conducts himself on this show is a class apart👏👏....I wish Remo would refrain from the manipulative tactics he tries to pull each time....they are becoming easier and easier to see through now.

i agree mostly with what you said. salman's dance did not really have that much "dance" in it.

someone said about mandakini that the peacock prop enhanced her dance, but in reality, it did the opposite. i noticed before anyone made any comments that it was weighing her down and she could not perform well in it.



Yea, i stand by what I said... it was a really good prop. Not like the bouncy ball that vaishali used, or that hula hoop that sunita used... that was tragic...t hey didnt have good control of the prop..it was obvious.

Even with the peacock costume, mandakini was able to make really graceful movements with her hands and feet, except for some tiny instances... i watched her video on youtube a couple of times... u should too.
