i like watching all the small AV's before a performance, or in the limelight....because they show somehow the whole teaching process of it....
i always get a feeling, that of the three judges....terence, geeta and remo...the person who probably can replicate and reproduce what their contestants do is maybe only terence...ha ha..maybe except for kruti bharatnatyam...and jai's tap dogs which he claimed he probably wont be able to do that well :p
but otherwise...i dont have any doubt, that he'd be able to do all these dances...easily...effortlessly and beautifully...and he'd be able to carry off all the styles....we've seen him do bollywood and jeetu...some funk type dance...michael jackson lol... lyrical hip hop...ive seen some videos of his contemporary stuff...actually ive seen terence do more other stuff and less contemporary...hope to see more of that! he can do all the acrobatic stuff too...anything that has been done on stage so far....he's learnt ballet, kathak, folk dance...i dont know what neoclassical is...but that too and mallkhamb too...so its really really nice to see him do it...dance....and there is a sort of faith that you know...ya..he can do this...and this and this....and his versatality is amazing... really it is...and everything has an innate grace....
remo is a great dancer especially in hip hop and the likes....but i dont know if he'd be able to do ballet and some of the indian dances....haha...maybe ive never seen remo do it...but i cant imagine him doing contemporary... :) he's very associated in my head to hip hop.
the same with geeta....i dont see her doing the lifts, stunts... and the contemporary stuff...or hip hop....as a choreographer she can probably design it...and set it...but im talking strictly about dancing here...as a dancer...
also...whenever, especially last season....anyone was called to reproduce a dance...or show something to the audience...it was always terence...so no one else really showed any of their other dances except indian (geeta) and remo's style :) terence was infact always called to do other styles...wasnt ever called to do contemporary stuff :)
so yeah...in my opinion, terence is probably the better and more versatile dancer of the three...i know remo is an ace in what he does best...geeta is good too....but if i had to zero in on whom id vote best...ha ha...i dont have to ...but anyway, it will probably be terence for me....

Hey, I agree!! But Jai's Tap Dogs was done by Terence in the DID-1 finale, and he excelled in it too!! 😃 Terence can do any dance forms, even Classical if he wants to... He had some classical dance positions in his Jai Ho dance he did in DID-1... Call me biased, and being biased about Terence is something I am proud about.. 😉

I had made a post in another thread showing the dance forms done by each master for their team this season and Terence is in the lead... Check my list below...

Terence
-- Contemporary, Lyrical Hip-hop, Urban Style, Lyrical Style, Bollywood, Classical, Tango + Ballroom, Bhojpuri Salsa, Jazz, Hip-hop, Indian Contemporary, Bollyhop Freestyle, Theatrical Freestyle, semi-classical, Ballroom Waltz -- 15

Remo -- Classical, Freestyle, Contemporary, Hip-hop, Classical + Western Fusion, Ballet, Tango, B-boying, LnP Hip-hop -- 9

Geeta
-- Hip-hop, Indian folk, Salsa, Freestyle, Bollywood, Acrobatia, Indian Contemporary, Disco, Chachacha -- 9

Akku my dear TL can himself dance all 15 forms and than some....If any one will challenge TL and he will make it good I can promise....👏⭐️
But are you sure Remo & Geeta can dance 9 types of dances themselves??? 😲
My answer is NO..They may have assistant coaches who may train contestants on some of these types and Remo - Geeta gets the credit for that...

No Di, I am not saying that they all can dance all these forms (of course except for Terence!), but looking at the versatility of masters' choreography... they always attack Terence and his toli, while looking at them and their team, what credibility is there in their comments against TL and TKT... I just wanted to prove that...

Totally with ya about Terence - he can do dozens of dance forms with ease and elegance any day any time!! No one can even come closer to him in India!!! 😳 😃

Yes, Terence was being nice and encouraging to Jai...

Thank you, SF... I made a list of top 12 dancers plus Parvez for all the dance forms they have done this season so far, when there was a discussion on the most versatile dancer... So I put in a couple of hours for that, making sure nothing is missed, so this list was easier as I made this one from that big list... 😳 😃

Yes, Terence did workshops in Europe, mainly in Austria last year, I remember.. And he has taken dance lessons in Vienna years back, and I am so confident about his knowledge and the comments he makes in the show... 😊

yes definitely Terence is most versatile among three.. every dance form he choreographs is the best... and his toli executes whatever he teaches to them very well.. terence is best in any dance form... he carries it off very well..
