100% with you. What people missed is.... he was not only doing a plain ordinary bungee, but look at his body work.
I am scared that Terrance is going to loose his talented kids one by one before reaching finals. 😭 Mithun was going ga-ga over Prince's tissue dance. That was no doubt beautiful, but for any trained dancer it would take only 10-20 mins to be able to learn that piece of act. But what Jai did, even whole life might not be enough to learn.

Well said! It didn't look like any ordinary act to me, Jai's body posture was amazing!! his bottom body half seems veryy strong! Correct me if i'm wrong but it was a mixture of floating contempary dance (if i can call it that?)😛
I don't see why Terence is becoming the common enemy when he has proved that he is able to tutor his students to perform the stunts without injuring themseleves like all the other contestants have done who have performed stunts.
I enjoyed Prince's act today but look at the dance steps-I don't see what is soo difficult about it?😕However, still entertaining I suppose.
Cos people were controlling him from up I didn't feel at any point that jai's gonna muck this up and fall or that his life was in any sort of danger. If he felt that, it would've no doubt been visible while he was performing.
Anyways, even if something went veryy wrong, judging from his body position throughout the dance, he wouldn't have landed head first.

People really need to open up their perspectives about different sort of dances and need to stop narrowing their vision by already making a pre-conceptualized decision in their minds.

if you youtube , then you will find all these aerial dances... theres ladder dance in the air, their are curtain dances in the air, theres this bugee dance, theres rope dance, theres ring dances. etc
they are all done in the air and are part of art forms and dances.

I dont know how many of you guys have seen Kisna but the actress in there can do all these sort of dances. (her name is Isha Sharvani). she came in luck by chance too....

so yeah this is not some STUNT...and jai doing the whole dance doing that bungee was infact a DANCE in itself...so Remo and other masters need to talk when they know what they are talking about.

Well...I actually agree that the dance was the least dangerous. You see, Mayuresh's ring act or Malkhamb and Salman's rope act has no straps or holds or whatever. It was upto the contestant to maintain balance (which can be done with practice, of course). But if I remember correctly, Jai's hands were strapped to the bungee cord, so even if he'd slipped, he wouldn't have fallen down....right? And during that downward roll, he had his waist strapped.

Right, funny how Prince got the title of trying the most riskiest act ever by Mithunda! that kinda makes me laugh 😆 Jai's performance was superb but it never got ANY mindblowing comments on it except for Mithunda saying Jai you're a graceful dancer. Right after his performance, Terence had to prove hhimself and then Remo ONLY criticized Jai's performance. Poor soul got no obvious comments. On the other hand, Prince gathered heck lots of comments! That's so unfair! Prince is gud at l&p and so in rehearsal, it must not have taken him no more than few hours to practice and master this performance, whereas, it must have taken Jai more training to increase his physical endurance, and fitness, and also heck a lot of practice before performing.
This show's just so unfair, it makes me mad. Why is Jai being ignored so baddly!! 😕

Yes, true. Only it looked dangerous because of the fall he had to do after being strapped and pulled up - if they didnt have pulled him up, he would hit the floor with that free fall step. He had his wrists strapped in the chords all the time, and he also was clutching firm on the loops. 😊 👍🏼
Many hollywood movies and bands have had this up-in-the-air performances, so I really liked it and felt proud that an Indian could do it the same way as a Hollywood star or a Broadway dancer - maybe my perceptions and outlooks on things are different, so would be hard for many people to digest. But some members here will understand my POV... 😃

Yeahh they didn't even ask for other judges comments. I think they just assumed it wasn't a danced form so labelled it 'good to watch' but that's it.😕
It looks easy watching a guy float who is being held by strings anyway but I can't even begin to describe the amount of body stamina needed to perform this dance!
And agreed about the prince bit-even though I reallyy liked the performance, it couldn't have taken him long to learn the p&l bit.😕

i agree it was very dangerous. when he rolled down holding the bungee with one hand...from the height he was dropped and with the force and velocity...he could have very seriously damaged his arm...im surprised he didnt rip is rip is muscles/tendons, or even dislocated his shoulder!

even tho the stunts are very entertaining to watch and it shows such great talent...this is a dance competition, not a cirrus act!

but despite all this...hats off to jai! he did it with incredible grace and beauty! flawless
