then you should watch tamil dance reality shows, they only take few western dance style, rest of the rounds will be focus on indian dance styles, like old movies classic dance style, folk etc.

The Indian audience does not appreciate them!

I say this because I watch television whenever I visit India and in one instance I was at a doctor's office where the waiting area had Dance India Dance on. A contestant was giving a performance on Kathak and someone to my right said, "She should try doing hip-hop or salsa..."

I mean rarely do we see contestants doing classical dancing in the first place and from what I remember this was the first classical solo of that season.

Anyhow, like a lot of people mentioned...this is about Indians trying to fit in with the western culture. Trying to learn the western culture and being aware of it is a great thing but that does not mean we completely cut off our roots. One of our Universities (and I live out of India) has courses such as bollywood, Indian history and culture, etc.

So for me, it's more because of the mentality that people have developed over the years about our culture. Just like how there is craziness on going to America, Canada, Australia these days.
