Contestants/Choreographers Focusing More on Lifts Rather Than Dancing?

This is a trend I've been seeing from the previous season as well. Do any of you feel that for some performances more of the focus is on lifts and more acrobatic elements rather than pure dance elements? I mean it's okay to have lifts and creative acts in the dance, but when you take most of the pure dance away from the real dancing elements, then it's more of a gymnastic type of act, if you know what I mean. Is it only me or does anyone think the same that for some contestants/choreographers pairs they focus more on the lifts and stuff rather than pure dance?

You took the words right out of my mouth. I feel as if the entire dance is about lifts and poses/ holding the girl for a while at a certain angle. The basic nuances of the dance have been put aside. Even if they do incorporate the real essence of the dance, it is given a minor portion but stretches, lifts and poses are given the most prominence.

its nt their bt they r forced to do so...as snigs said..these judges dnt appreciate pure dancing

U know what i hv seen numerous topics on this same thing fr the last few seasns nd i hv never really replied to ne of them cause i dnt agree bt then opinions do vary i personally prefer lifts,stretches nd poses over latkas nd thumka cause i find them xtremely beautiful nd graceful yeah it really irks me when 1uses lifts to cover up ur poor dancing skills or do aerial acts everyweek nd gets the applause bt when u do forms like contemporary its all abt flexibility a prsn wthout flexibility can do contemp but it smhow lways looks incomplete so i dont really agree just my opinion though

me too feel the same...putting contemperory in all the acts...

IMO lifts provide the wow factor nd hence choreographers use dem to literally lft their performance.😆 But yeah der shld be a restriction as dance shld be d most important aspect of a performance.

Also IMO Savio is one choreographer who is good at lifts nd he did a marvelous job wid Hard Kaur. Also wid Bharti he had done many lifts, but I think dat is possible only if d partner is short as in d case wid Hard Kaur nd Bharti, but wid Kritika it is somehow not looking as graceful.

Completely second you 😊😊 the real Dance has somewhere left behind & it has all been about Lifts & acrobatic steps 😕😆😆...& Its really surprising that judges dont even complain 😆😆😆

I agree with you. Since the last season , there have been more of lifts and aerial acts than the dancing itself. I wish they were allowed only 1 or 2 lifts in a routine, and focus more on the dancing.
