technical feedback for the 5th feb performances - Page 2

Kishore: he is very strong and has great potential... However he is using the old acrobatic tricks.. his strength is great and i feel that he can do contemporary very well... Its high time that he should stand and do movements without stunts and show his potential as a dancer... Having said that I feel his eyes are dead and the fire is missing from his eyes... The feelings are in the eyes and the power to hold the spectator is in the eyes... I have yet to see his fire... But overall a good strong dancer. I wish he gets technique training.

His Saturday solo was good, esp. the feel was awesome... Throw less energy and may be try something soft and graceful now.

Just wanted to add that agreed Nikitasha is a fabulous kuchipudi dancer, but she didn't do good Indian classical in the fusion mix....so I have to disagree there.

I think Terence disagreed with Shashank that boys don't do pointe work in ballet. Shashank is right. Boys don't do pointe work in ballet. Its strictly done by girls. However, the ballet history says that boys used to do pointe work when the girls were not allowed to dance and boys used to play the role of girls and dance on their points. But after the girls have started dancing boys don't dance on points simply because they have to do the lifts also. I think Terence should read ballet history properly before commenting... Shanshanks solo was outstanding until he started his hip hop... I don't think he should have switched the style. After his performance he should have refrained from saying something like "Remo ke rangile sab styles karte hai" I felt he was being mean to the other masters. Very bad shashank, Just focus on your dance and be true to your art. Refrain from being a part of politics.

Ok I watched the whole episode and limelight...I didn't see any disagreement between Shashank and Terence on pointing toes...Terence did say his pointe work was not good. That is bcos Shashank was not performing as a male dancer but a female ballet dancer. Yes male ballet dancers are not supposed to do pointe work but they are also not supposed wear pointe shoes... Shashank was wearing so he had to do the pointe work. Also though men don't do pointe toes, they are trained in to do so once a while which helps train the leg muscles and the arch of your foot. So I think Terence does know what he says.

Thanks for the in tech in sights..

From now onwards pls do this on weekly basis after every week episodes so that we can know the contestants strengths n weakness..

Do you watch the show live when it's being recorded? Looks like we miss a few things when they air the show, due to the editing, but the audience on the set would know a lot more...
