This show is called dance india dance. I am not against the dances from the other culture but we are seeing less of the dances and more of a phisical strength. I am just not enjoying the show.

TOh atleast you agree this is Dance show not circus, I was kinna of feeling bad for circus artists/clowns/sher/chetah/elephants😉😊 NOw the question propotion of Indian Dance Forms Vs Any other countrie dance form is concerned, many of the Indian dance forms are also covered assuming in US they are telecasting same version of the show.
Lastly, physical strength is one of imp criteria in most of the dance forms. Its fun to watch different dance forms minus risky stuff. Enjoy!!

I personally like the show because it brings variety and a freshness. Though some contestants prefer to stick to their forte and bring variety once every three weeks. Prince's act was lame today...he looked like a scared chikcen on the rope up in the air.

Thats what it looks like.. Agreed some of those stunts require strength but more than that they require flexibility , stamina , technique and finesse..

Bingo. He looked so stiff throughout the song and didnt even complete his steps properly.
Now we know why Remo only makes him do L&P

I feel this is not a dance show any more!! I used to love this show and now when I watch I feel I am watching a circus!! All the girls are loosing because they are dancing and cannot compete with the boys for circus acts.

It is a shame to see all the good dancers like Vrushali, Mandakani, Khushboo got eliminated and people like Prince are getting the highest votes. Are we forgetting that at the end of the it is about dancing? Too bad everyone got distracted from the dance and paying more attention to who can jump or pump.
This is what I feel!! Comments...

very well said.....now i really feel that khushboo should have attempted something safe like sunita did last week......then she would not have been eliminated......& i dont know why prince is so popular.....he can do nothing other than locking&popping......& there also last week siddesh was better than him!!

If you do some research on the different dance forms in the world, you can see that there are dozens of them, and many Indians are not familiar with them. This show in the manner will provide an opportunity for exposure to so many dance forms outside India. Even in Contemporary dance, there are so many forms. What Jai did bungee is Aerial dance. What Khushboo did with ribbons is Aerial silk dance. What Prince does is locking and popping - with break dance. What Salman did with rope is aerial acrobat rope dance. What Mayuresh did with the ring is aerial ring dance. What Mayuresh did with the poles is pole dance - also similar to Malkhamb in India.

Yes, most aerial acts are adapted from circus, but they are still dance forms. Because in circus, the focus is only on the risky stunt, whereas in dance, it consists of moves that are very much dance - the way the body moves, the angles of each part of the body, the way the toes are pointed, the way each movement is done while on the prop...

Then there were many salsa, flamingo, etc dances which are all from South America, Spain, etc. In this era of globalization, it's good to learn about all the dances outside India too. 😃



Well said!
Def agree😳

Exactly! Salman's dance with the flag that everyone is complaining about is also artistic and not to mention difficult to do. I can't really get into that much detail about it, but I figured you'd research it. So you go do your thing!
