Actually Mujra is more of an inappropriate dance for kids then Lavani.
Mujra is a form of dance blended with some Kathak.This dance form was traditionally performed suring "mehfils" when men would come, and the woman would entertain in the Kothas (brothel). As years went on, mujra was then associated with the word "prostitute".
"During the Indian Rebellion of 1857 mujra performances provided an opportunity for revolutionaries to meet and many tawaif were also actively involved in the movement. As a result, many kothas were confiscated by the British after the rebellion, disrupting the traditional tawaif succession.By the early 1900s, many tawaif had moved into the prostitution industry as the traditional system had broken down. Mujra has experienced a modern revival in India and other countries such as Russia. Modern mujra dancers perform at events like weddings, birthday events and bachelor parties, often performing a modern form of mujra along with popular Bollywood dance styles. Mujra has been depicted in Bollywood films like Umrao Jaan and Devdas."
Lavani "comes from the word Lavanya which means beauty . This is one of the most popular forms of dance and music that is practiced all over Maharashtra. It has in fact become a necessary part of the Maharashtrian folk dance performances. Traditionally, the songs are sung by female artistes, but male artistes may occasionally sing Lavanis. The dance format associated with Lavani is known as Tamasha. Lavani is a combination of traditional song and dance, which particularly performed to the enchanting beats of 'Dholak', an drum like instrument. Dance performed by attractive women wearing nine-yard saris. They are sung in a quick tempo. The verve, the enthusiasm, the rhythm and above all the very beat of India finds an expressive declaration amidst the folk music of India, which has somewhat, redefined the term "bliss"."
Either way, this is a dance show, and there are many things we might find inappropriate. I don't think girls doing pelvic moves as Hansika or Papiya has done are appropriate, but it is a part of a dance form, so we let it be. Many thought Vaishnavi shouldn't have danced to that contemporary number because of the concept, but that is what contemporary is. It is poetry in motion, depicting a stroy, either love, hurt, pain, etc. so i didn't think anything was wrong with it. We all have our opinions I guess. The skippers know what they are doing and so do the masters. If they thought something was inappropriate, they would say it. 😊

finally someone said it.........people were actually making a point that lavani, a traditional dance based in Maharashtra which is performed during auspicious days was not appropriate but mujra which is performed in brothels by prostitutes to lure potential clients is appropriate for a kids show...........😃 we really are living in kalyug wherein D sir and vaishnavi are criticized for choreogprahing and performing a traditional dance and jai and Papiya are applauded for choreographing and performing a mujra.......ðŸ˜
