Your observation is so accurate. Even I have similar thoughts and have commented/ debated on it repeatedly but isn't there a way we could do something about it?

Why can't all of us make a thread signing it with our names as fans telling Colors to plzz showcase the dance forms in their true/ original form and not as a fusion bonanza every week. Same goes for contemporary, I'm sick of seeing every contestant doing it as often as they can.

Is there no way for Colors to know what we think? This fusion + contemporary overload has really taken the show many notches DOWN LOW.

We talk about these fault endlessly but only Colors/ JDJ has the authority to bring change in their dance content. The question is: How can we reach them and tell them what we feel and what we want to see otherwise this matter will never change?

Colors won't give an inch, I assure you. When they show such infantile comedy every week and thrust their shows down our throats at the same time, we know where they are coming from and where their interests lie.

They aren't interested in anything pure, leave alone dance forms. The only thing pure here is the low down tamasha which they believe the audience wants

In my opinion, contestants are anything but dancers...

My reasons

... Men are super villains... proficient at throwing their women to unbelievable lengths.
... Men are super heroes... catching their women from unbelievable heights.

Such Bad bad boys!!! Who are you trying to impress?? 😆

... Girls... 1,2,3... fall... 1,2,3... jump... 1,2,3... leap... 1,2,3... wait the song is over.

Clingy clingy Girls!! Move aside, I want to see those 6,7,8 packs... not your bare backs 😡😆

... Ah, finally I get to watch some Indian dance form that I didn't know of...

Oh no, Khajuraho figurine 'aatmas' have invaded the dance floor again...Am I watching a horror show in disguise??

... *butting in alert* Main aagayi, main aagayi, main aagayi

Oh Palak, raasta bool gayi kya? Either decide to be a host, or a contestant... Or turn on your GPS and go back to the place where you belong! Now get this straight... YOU AIN'T FUNNY 😡😡

... the 'Kool one-liner King' Ravneer and the 'Madhubala of TV' Drashti

Jump start your funny bones ASAP, or at least fire your script writer. Yawn yawn!!

...And the judges...
KJO... I own production company, so impress me!! 😉 ...
MD... Ain't I gorgeous? Impress me!! ...
RDS... focus, focus... Palak, shoo, scoot... focus, this is not hocus-pocus

p.s... Nice post Mystique.. But, I couldn't present it in a healthy manner because this is how I honestly feel... A cocktail of Russian acrobat, with a sprinkle of all dance forms, and loads of oomph factor... and liquid main haddi, Palak.

On the bright side, I skip all the non dance portions and watch the show in 25 minutes or less... 😃

p.p.s... Honestly, I came here expecting all gushing posts, but found something impressive and had to post. 😛😛

I for one know this for a fact that colors never really listens. Maybe the drop in TRPs will jolt them. That is the only thing that matters anyways to them.

Every other contestant is doing some mixed khichdi of contemporary every other week. After a point, it becomes, YAWN.

What happened to the good ol' Indian dance forms? In indian week, I didn't see a single Bharatnatyam, Kuchipudi, Kathak performance.

And don't get me started on how they degraded Dandiya and sorts. Garba is not something you do with a hi lo slit skirt and just twirl randomly. Kittu should have been taught the basic footwork of Garba first. Which quite frankly, is really easy if explained properly.

But nope.

This is one of the most informative and important topic of this forum till now but sadly very few are interested in discussing it ! I can go on and on about what jdj lacks but you pretty much summed it up ! I just really wanna see atleast one dance where no prop no fusion no gigs no dialogues in between just pure dance on an instrumental music ! Something classy and beautiful to watch ! Something that's makes you awestruck that you cannot take your eyes off it and yet think about it in near future ! I have these expectations from shakti as a contestant and shampa as a choreographer ! Coz by far only shampa has impressed me with her choreography and deepak to an extent !

PS. Didn't shakti say in an interview that you could tweet them and tell them the dance form you want them to do ? We could tweet them and maybe shampa too maybe we get to see something beautiful

So far Shampa has not disappointed me. And the same goes for Deepak.. Though I wasn't impressed by Sophie's opening act, the Bachata and the Naagin Dance had me in awe of his choreography. But still, even there, it was fusion.

Its general public opinion now that they want to see less gimmicks and more dance.

You know, with all the shit that they fill in in one episode, it almost seems like the contestants and the dance are the FILLERS... And the main episode is just an amalgamation of batshit.

I remember the times when one pure dance form was stressed upon. Like, if they attempted Waltz, they wouldn't do any major lifts as such, because Waltz doesn't have many lifts to begin with...

But here, almost every other contestant does some form of contemporary. And pass it on as some khichdi to us.

Shakti's teri deewani was brilliant! And it was pure out and out Ballet. And that's why that dance stayed with me for the whole week. But after that, it just became monotonous. It felt as if all she is doing is stretching and all Tushaar is doing is lifting her like some sort of dumbell, and throwing her here and there. I am tired of this.

I don't know how much tweeting them would be effective. But if tweeting has to start, there should be a common hashtag or something, where you put in want you want directly from Jhalak.

More than anything, I am disappointed in the judges who have become absolutely useless. All KJo does is display Tharak, all Madhuri does is Issh, and Ohho... And All Remo does is That's how you roll it.
