I have noticed that as the weeks have gone by, all the contestants have tried various different styles. In my opinion not one contestant has stood out as great in all the styles. I don't think it's physically possible for a dancer in one genre to become equally great or proficient in another genre. I mean great ballet dancers are just that great ballet dancers, they are not great hip hop dancers or classical dancers and vice versa. So I think now that all the dancers have tried different genres, they should be allowed to perform in their genre at least once a week. I mean that's what people for the most part want to see. Shakti fans want to see her do contemporary, Dharmesh fans want to see him do hip hop, Saajan fans want biboing. I mean we've seen examples week after week where contestants have struggled in a genre that's not their own. Dharmesh sir struggled with his classical, Shakti struggled with her classical and bollywood, and Shashank when he was around struggled with hip hop and so on. Everyone of the 10 remaining dancers are great dancers and so with enough time I am confident any of them can be relatively proficient in any style. However as this is a dance show, people want to see their contestant in the best light, and that can only happen when the contestants dance in the style that they are most comfortable with.

personally i like them focusing on a specific style at this stage in their solo 😃 as long as we haveall versatile contestants which we do....hip hop, contemporary, classical, biboing ... versatility as a whole is better than vesatility in all of them....we wanna see quality dancing so it's high time for them to show their best moves in their own genre of dance 😛....whereas for duet they can show the versatility 😊

I am yet to see Shakti do a Salsa, Rumba...And thats why I wanna see more dance forms from her😳
P.S--Shakti did not "struggle" in Bollywood style, Hip-Hop and Paso Doble..(she received the best performance awards in the last two), so clearly there was no struggle, in a genre that is not her own. For you she might have but that does not make it a 'global' opinion. Just thought I'd let you know, before you start generalizing about Shakti.😛

She won the potd award for her duet with Jack. She didn't get good comments from Remo and Geeta for her bollywood on Friday. 😕 so i would label that as struggling.

Exactly, she won the award with Jack for hip-hop, that is not her style. Even once before she had done a Hip-hop and got amazing comments. Ofcourse, she did not get BAD comments on her bollywood..

And Dharmesh sir received a grand salute for his dance outside of his genre as well. So my point exactly, all the dancers have shown that they can handle something outside their forte quite well.😊

Don't count or consider Grand salutes given to Dharmesh SIR 😃 becoz they come free with his popularity 😆 😆 Others have to earn it unlike him!!

You spoke the golden words "Don't count or consider Grand salutes given to Dharmesh SIR

I want to frame this quote on my profile with a golden frame 😃
