Indian Classical Dance Styles

i dont know how much dese judges know abt Indian classical dances ...i hope ganesh do hav inputs on it , cauz d way they scored deepika for that indian semi classical number was bad, dat performance surely didnt deserve 10...we all know lauren hav no training in indian classical so we cant expect a fair judgement from her on dat part but as a judge she should learn or watch the mudras n how dey r performed to b scored as 10/10

I hear you. If there is one thing I am doubting about this season on the dancing level, it's Indian classical/folk. Neither the choreographers nor the judges seem aptly equipped which is why I feel we won't see much of it. And whatever we do won't be of a satisfactory level. But that's just a premonition, I am open to being surprised.

I agree ... I think Shahid had the most relevant comments there, as his mother is a trained classical dancer, student of Birju Maharaj, no less ... he must have watched her all his life. He was the only one who knew what he was talking about re: the mudras and postures etc. I'm not a dancer at all, but I've watched a lot of classical dance ... even to my untrained eye, Deepika's hand movements were all over the place.

I dont think the judges are that qualified to appreciate classical dances for that u need someone like madhuri or geeta kapur.
