Yes, but I'm not sure if you got what I'm trying to say. For example, as a fan, have always followed DD and whenever I used to watch her dancing --- I always thought she is a great dancer, still think. Watching her dance in Award functions and all ... That's why I was excited for to take part in this show because she would do well with the right guidance. Hell, even her colleagues/actor friends always mention how good of a dancer she is. People also mistook her for professional dancer because she used to teach kids. Or whatever lil classes she took. That does not make her a professional. Only a good dancer.

But when I saw her on JDJ, then you realize what is the difference between a technical/professional dancer and a natural dancer.

My point is ... DD is learning and doing great. Say, for instance, if she quits acting and wants to pursue her career in dancing ... it wouldn't take much, because she has that ...sense about dancing ... instinct ...That's why I always say, DD's only flaw is technical ... which is coming in the form of her knees ... sexy legs as I put it. 😆

Jake, nah man! I get where you're coming from and I think I was trying to say the same thing but in different words. All these fireworks tonight seem to be distracting me from expressing a clear view. 😆

No you see--I do agree with what you're saying. I thought you meant something else or maybe I understood it differently. She does have that natural grace one needs. I never had it naturally, I loved to dance but it wasn't instilled in me, it came with a lot of practice and tenacity. Whereas, some like Drashti (it's always there but just needs a little polishing). I'm on board with the whole instinct thing, it's all true.

I just had a difference in opinion in the terminology: the whole pro vs dancer vs non-dancer. No biggie!!

Agree about the knee. They tend to get awkward at times, but other than that she'f fine. Most women have the biggest trouble with their back and guys have trouble with their shoulders, but Drashti is keeping it perfectly lined. Plus, she expresses with her face which is a must when you're dancing.

I don't think a show like JDJ on an indian channel can ever be totally unfair. Firstly, they would have to allow judges to actually score how they feel and be okay with them giving 4s and 5s 😆 Next, they'd have to promote equally. Finally, they'd have to have the exact same calibre of choreographer for each contestant to control that variable!
