DID Movers and Shakers- No takers!

That being said about how classical dance is being pushed into oblivion, here are my thoughts:

• While we here in the US try to retain our cultural dance/music identity, it is considered non-classy back in India - isn't it sad?
• 
  Wouldn't it be worthwhile to give classical dance a stage it deserves- I know there's TRP and all that?
• 
  Why not have a mandatory classical round - loads of films have some neat classicals and why not invite the 'forgotten' rather 'anonymous' exponents of dance alongside a bollywood celebrity. I would get to know some of these dance gurus too...

I agree that they should have a specific classical round, like they have that for the musical show SRGMP. I wish they have specific rounds for each week - classical, comedy, bollywood, disco, contemporary, and so on... But anyway, the classical forms are more prominent in the South and therefore the dance reality shows in the South, especially in Kerala, give more importance to classical dance items. But then most of the trained and famous classical dancers are from the South too, and since they have regional shows to focus on, they dont give much importance to the national shows.. And sadly in DID, the classical dancers dont gain many votes and tend to be eliminated prematurely, while those with no classical background will be the finalists.. So the problem is the show's format itself...
