The whole team was overworked and oversaturated after SD 4, IBD 2, Dance Deewane Juniors and DID Super Moms back to back. Not just the choreographers but even the head choreography team like Binny and others- I think they were part of all the projects back to back either front of camera or behind. And they needed this break of never ending Indian Idol to let their creative juices flowing again.
I slowly realized two very important things after the last two weeks- This time they have switched the whole concept of giving contestants choreographers of their same genres. Most of the contestants this time have choreographers who are not from the same school of dance. Yet I absolutely love how hard the choreographers are working to tune into their contestants dance style. Since I have been following Shweta from start, I have noticed that except for the last bit in their grand premiere act, she hasn't used a single Bharatnatyam step till their act yesterday and it's always Kathak based because of Shivanshu. And even though they both are classical dancers, the styles are so different yet they never fail to create magic. And I'm sure it's with all the other jodis. I think it's amazing on the choreographers part to work so hard in giving us such amazing acts.
And second, it was only when they started teasing Vaibhav about his age did I realize that half of the choreographers are actually ageing. We have been seeing people like Anu, Pankaj, Tushar, Sonali choreograph so many shows back to back and they themselves started with DID and other shows as contestants long back. I'm pretty sure most of them are in their late 20s or early 30s and it's really not easy to dance with either kids or youngsters in their early years and match up to their energy. I think that's why it keeps showing sometime in their act when the choreographer goes a little weak in middle of the act. So a big 🤗 to them for still continuing to give in their best and managing the performances every week like a pro.
Idk last two weeks episodes just made me so emotional about India's dancing community as a whole that we are used to watch on TV. I'm sure most of us have been around since DID days and grown up watching them and no matter how they have turned into now, hat's off to Remo, Geeta and Terrence for creating such a vast and beautiful community of dancers. I absolutely love how the quality of dance shows in India are increasing by leaps and beyond with every year! 🤩
Okay now enough of happiness and tareef. Can already sense the judges or Sony jinxing it next week 😆
