Geeta's gang had THE most incredible dancers amongst all the contestants. She truly had the creme of the crop, but what a complete waste of dancing talent. Geeta is absolutely incompetent as a choreographer. She has little to no vision, and her choreography has limited versatility, innovation and originality. Not to mention, her knowledge pertaining to the technicality of dance and various dance forms is bare minimum compared to Remo and Terrence (the latter especially). Farah Khan is her guru and mentor, go figure. She's completely wasting all of her teammates dancing skills. Yes, her team mates are all good dancers, but a great dancer can only go so far with highly mediocre choreography. Had Kishor and Dharmesh been in, say, Terrence's team, Dance India Dance would never have been same again. And then she uses her mediocre choreography skills as an excuse to lash out at Mithin's decision of being partial and bias. Maybe the problem is in you, Geeta?

She needs to be replaced.

While I think Remo and Terrence do a superb job of utilizing their dancer's talent, it doesn't change the fact that Remo is a hack who rips off his choreography from other performances. I'm not sure how he got through an entire season of DID by copying world renounced dance performances (and even more surprising, he wasn't charged for plagiarizing).

Terrence, on the other hand, is a GOD AMONGST INSECTS. His knowledge of the innumerate dance forms is impressive, to say the least, and each one of his choreographed performances is packed with originality, innovation, and a spectacular vision.

Why oh why are Dharmesh and Kishor in Geeta's team? Mithun Daa for the first time made a fair decision, no doubt. Terrance, so far, has proven himself the BEST with the Fridays' AND Saturdays' episodes. Remo is playing mind games I guess because he sucks just as much as Geeta, but during the dance ki kasauti segments, he makes sure to send out his strongest contenders, and they perform extraordinarily. This Friday in terms of choreography, I would say Remo lagged way behind while Geeta was strictly OK. Terrance was brilliant. But what did Geeta do today? It was totally embarrassing to witness skilled dancers bid adieu from her team, especially Altaf. When Teena was dancing, I had to shut my eyes, because I just couldn't handle her 'sexiness' and I traced no dance when Altaf was on stage.

Last season as well with Sunita and Siddesh in Geeta's team, it was saddening to watch them because their talent was not fully shown to the audiences, thus the outcome was negative. From what I've observed, Geeta during her comments seems to lack knowledge of the dance forms and technicalities. She barely criticizes. Yeaaahhh, I am not sure how her pretentious words or sign language assist the contestants improve.

So far Dharmesh, Binny, and Kishor have performed well if not better during their solo performances from auditions than the show itself which really Geeta should take in accounts. Either she should step it up, and showcase her potential as a choreographer in comparison to the other two masters, or she herself should bid adieu to the dance show.

In regards to Remo and Terrance, words fall short to describe the latter. The way he utilizes his dancers and the way he envisions his choreography is transferred to the audiences successfully. His knowledge on dance forms, be it Bollywood or contemporary, is highlighted during the show well, and all in all his judgments are not erratic or strategically played unlike Remo. However, I still am skeptical in regards to Remo because I did enjoy a few of his numbers from last season, so I am hoping he does the same this time around as well. So far, he is just as disappointing as Geeta.

It's a shame to see talent be ignored.

Whatever Remo does, it does not bother me, in the end it is a competition, not just for the contestants but for the masters as well. I agree, Geta and Terrance did better then Remo, however, I feel that what Remo gave his dancers to do was not all bad, but if it was excecuted a bit better then that would have been a different story. I feel that the three girls could have been great, but factors such as their skimpy outfits and the stupid slide might have put a damper on their dance. Three of Remo's boys, lacked in the coordination, hence....a bit more pratice probably would have made the dances a bit more 'wow'.

Terrence. Kya baat. Kya baat. Kya baat. Awesome.

Geeta, she did very good, she was able to extract the dancers out of her contestants! What a master should do! Her pieces were more innovative, but still, I find her lacking in knowledge and dances other then 'bollywood' type. The Bachata and what not, there really is ALOT more to it then what was shown, and I feel if she put a bit more research into it, she could have given a few more I don't think she even followed the basic 8 count rule for the dance. Uhoh.

Today, however, during Altaf an Teena's solo I knew they would be outed. Compared to the skill and grace of the other dances, and the smooth executions Teena and Altaf did lag behind. Teena's bit was rather choppy in places, and Altaf did not do much dancing.

I feel the same, that Geeta cannot seem to display their true talent with her mediocre choreography. Teena's dance was very very mediocre. Many argue that Bhavna should have gone out, however, what she did required much more skill, and it was alot smoother then Teena. Teena yesterday, in the Bachata was so graceful! If Geeta would have given her softer choreography she might have had a chance. And Altaf got lost in his trash cans. That is all.

Poor Geeta.

I agree. But I'd have to say that Remo is just as dissapointing this year as Geeta. His choreography this week for Friday's episode was pathetic! It had nothing to it! I didn't even see a point to it.

The thing is, Geeta doesn't even use what she's good at to her advantage. She's trained in classical dancing and a good background in classical dance can really help you be a great dancer in other areas. Classical dance requires strength, flexibility, grace, balance, agility: in short almost all aspects of all other types of dance. So if she incorporated her experience and training and gave what she knows to her dancers, they could grow. She could for example, put in more classical types of performances. Like for someone like Darmesh whom I feel is already well trained in his own style of dance, he would benefit from gaining experience in another form of dance. I have a feeling he's going to get typecasted very soon.

Like Terrence for instance, he gives his dancers the knowledge he has. He provides them with his training to add to what they already know. While doing this he also brings in freshness and creativity to all his dances.

And even Remo tries to bring what he is best at (i.e. hip hop and popping locking etc.) to his dancers. However, Remo lacks that innovative and fresh aspect that Terrence has. His acts look good the first time, but after awhile they get repetitive and you lose interest watching them.

So really, I think Geeta should maybe try to use her experience and her own training a bit more. Also, what I like in Terrence and what I feel the other two judges lack is his desire to learn. He's a true dancer and artist in the sense that he tries to reach new levels each time. He's always trying to learn and outdo himself, which is why every act of his is creative, innovative and as you said, with a vision. And I get the feeling that Remo and Geeta on the other hand are too cocky. They are in for the competition and not to improve themselves. DID not only gives dancers a chance to learn and grow but also the masters. So if Remo and Geeta ever feel like they have done it all and they don't need to improve themselves then they can't possibly succeed.

Terrence is a true mentor in the sense that he not only allows his dancers to grow in terms of dance but also in character. He brings about these feelings of bonding, teamwork, loyalty and dedication to dance which ultimately help his team grow in all areas. He has that perfect balance of encouragement and criticism. While Remo and Geeta's team always give out these really competitive vibes. While Terence's dancers come out at the end of the competition better overall dancers, Remo's and Geeta's stay where they were. An example of this would be Salman, Prince and Siddesh from last year. I don't think they really gained anything from DID in terms of dancing, the only thing they got more of was fame.

Indeed when all the dancers start out, they're all a great bunch of talent. But it is after they are divided in teams that we realize how much of their growth is dependent on their mentors. If only Geeta and Remo would lose some of their overly competitive nature and cockiness I feel they would be better mentors. And Geeta should also, if not try to incorporate different styles of dancing, at least put in what she's best at- more classical and bollywood forms of dance.

It's also the fact that this whole competition is not just between the dancers but also between the masters. Hence the masters need to get out of what's best for them and think about how their dancers can benefit from their experience. And unfortunately Terence is the only one who has managed to do this best, which is why his dancers (no matter how weak in the begining) always shine through.

I don't know abt you guys, but I think geeta is trying hard to show what she is good at!
If you look at teena-altaf performance on fri, they were fabulous, a type of choreography i bet none of u guys will expect to see from Geeta!
So guys instead of criticizing, it think it is better to jus go with flow, nothing we could do abt it anyway!

That's right. Geeta is absolutely rubbish ... I mean, she really isn't as good as Remo or Terrence. I like Remo but I think so far, this season is Terrence's. :) But I love both Remo n Terrence ... both are really good.

i just couldnt agree more to this. U have just posted my mind here. Dharmesh is a completely wasted talent with Geeta. Terrence !!! Hats off to him and to justify him he has Shakti. Wish Dharmesh could just get out of that. This week seems like Geeta is trying hard to match up the standards, but unfortunately, its still mediocre. Our country has plenty of talented choreographers. Why cant DID2 get one of them?

i dont agree with u...she also tries to give her best....remo and terrence are not that great....they too are mediocre...they use three four athletic lifts in their choreopgraphy so that it appeals to the audience and add some grace......otherwise their choreo is jz avg

tmro binny is going to give a surprising performance though she too has used some fantastic athletic forms.....

i think next season they should change the judges.....and i hope vaibhavi is one among them...she is quite innovative and creats a lot of magic in her dance...if u dont agree jz check out the below links..

Sorry to differ, but doing those three four athletic lifts with perfection, with a gr8 chemistry, with good expression, at ease...and even for simply having the idea to do those is called good choreography...and Geeta has slowly started to adopt these in her dances...
