Week 1 - Lovely
It was their first act and she was in clear discomfort because of her rib injury. From their comments, they understood their strong and weaker points. They made a few mistakes in the dance but it was all about improving. The journey from a non dancer to a dancer is never an easy one.
Week 2 - Jaise Mera Tu
This was definitely a mesmerizing performance. The steps were lovely and she worked hard on her posture. Maybe better steps could have been given, but I really loved this one.
Week 3 - Naach Meri Jaan
Not their best, she did her steps well, but there was a wow factor missing in the performance. It happens, sometimes acts work, sometimes they don't.
Week 4 - Dhoom Machale
They definitely took the comments and low marks seriously and worked extremely hard. She was totally out of her comfort zone and it was a treat to watch her. I especially loved the finger snaps and the booty step, have never seen those before.
Week 5 - Banno
Both the choreography + Sanaya's expression, together with how well she got into her character, were all contributing factors for why they got that perfect score. My fav step was when she moved and he rolled on the floor, it takes a lot of sync for that. Also never seen before by me.
Week 6 - Baby doll
Though it has not aired, I have seen the technical rehearsals and I must say I did not expect that song but the dancing that I have seen was amazing. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
All in all there may not be jaw dropping moments in her performances but as a complete act, it feels and looks awesome on screen. From week 1 till now, an evident growth in Sanaya can be seen, from her dancing to her confidence... Jai has a major part in that as he is her teacher.
Jai has certainly steered her in the right direction. I love that its all gradual, she is a learner, she wants to learn, not just perform steps given to her. I also love how different her characters are and the dancing styles are really different also, she's really versatile and Ganesh mentioned that, that's all due to Jai and his vision.
Its been six weeks and by now Jai has explored a lot but yes there is more to be explored, with time it will happen. I'm excited to see a new part of her being unveiled each week.
