What she did today is Urban style Hiphop!! Remo and Geeta obviously showed their lack of knowledge by saying so!! Though hiphop, urban style is a lot more free moving style rather than the aggressive and arrogant typical hiphop. It's usually done in groups of 5 or more, but Terence made a duet out of it - WOW!!! 👏 Being ignorant of different dance forms or styles is not an excuse for the masters to make comments like that. It will show that they are unfit to be judges for a dance show like this!! At least GM doesnt make stupid comments like that as he knows that he isnt the master of all kinds of dance forms.. If the members here make comments like that, it's understandable as all the viewers dont know the variations and forms or styles or types of several dances all over the world..

I completely agree with you. Well this happened last year too with Jai Kumar when Remo and Geeta thought he performed tap dance and gave him a lower score. What annoyed me was the way Remo said Terrence incorporated your styles into the dance and did not praise the performance at all. Shakti has already shown her versatality in her solo and I'm sure will do so in the upcoming episodes.

Thank you! Yes, Jai did Tap Dogs which is Australian and quite different from the usual Tap Dance, which is done with the Tap shoes and the metal on the sole of the shoes make the tap noise on the floor - works better on wooden and vinyl floors.. In the Tap Dogs, the noises are made on different kind of surfaces and structures, and it's extremely hard to do!!! The rhythm has to be followed so well in all the surfaces and each surface makes different noise that it becomes even harder the faster one gets... The best Tap Dogs performance I saw was for the Sydney 2000 Olympics Opening Ceremony. Amazing!!

At least I am happy that GM keeps tight lips when it comes to talking about dance forms without knowing for sure and not knowing what exactly it is! Remo and Geeta are making the viewers ignorant too by making those comments! Terence is giving an opportunity for Indian viewers to get exposure to all these different dance forms and he gets ridiculed instead! 😡 Even in contemporary alone, there are numerous styles that not all contemporary dancers can do many variations like that...

I saw shakti-Amar dance on the promo - and yes, I also got a sense of deja vu. I was really hoping something totally different like jazz/salsa/indian from Shakti after she rocked the hip-hop in her solo performance last time.

The dance form may be different but the same contemporary feel is now getting too much to take despite being brilliantly choreographed and executed. I'd like to see Kruti do a contemporary and Shakti do a jazz/salsa type dance - something totally different than what we have seen her doing over Fridays so far.

I hope Terrence is listening😊

Hey T, if you really visit this section and take a note of what we have to say then please know that this fan of yours has nothing but your best interest at heart. Please don't give the public, Remo or Geeta any more chances to pick on how repetetive Shakti is getting on Fridays. Please show-case her talent as a dancer - not just a contemporary dancer but as an over-all brilliant dancer. I have full faith in you and Shakti both and I know you guys can churn out a chummeshwari performance in some other genre too🤗
