I haven't finished watching the show yet, but thus far, all the performances have been very good.

Ruturaj & Vaishnavi (9.0) --> Whoa this was a full out energetic performance. I know about the Lindy Hop, and have done it a bit, and let me tell you, it is SOOO tiring!! I was getting tired watching them dance. Rutu was good, but Vaishnavi was AMAZING! I think she redeemed herself from yesterday. There was that one stunt she fell on, but it's okay because she continued. Overall, it was SO entertaining to watch, and what a great song selection. It gave it that extra boost of energy! Well done.

Manoj & Vrush (9.15) --> This is purely Manoj's weekend! He completely out shined Vrushali. She actually messed up a little bit which was so surprising! But who cares, this performance was more about Manoj and he killed it! The 9.15 is only for Manoj for his beautiful and perfect moment. The few mess ups took away from the coordination so I can't give it a 10. I think Manoj is at his best because now he has Mayu/Vrush's undivided attention. Well done!

Atul & Papiya (9.15) --> I loved this performance! For the FIRST TIME, I couldn't get my eyes off Papiya. This was probably her BEST duet performance. She out shined Atul completely. Her movements were so clean, clear, crisp and in character. Atul today was not his best. He seemed less energetic and a little lost at times. Papiya held this performance up. Overall, I loved this performance! Well done!

Jeetu & Vaishu (9.25) --> This is my favorite performance so far. I have seen this dance form before at a Russian wedding I went to. It was really nice, only thing, I couldn't understand the music so it took me a while to get into it, but when i did, I thoroughly enjoyed it. So, now, watching Jeetu and Vaishu do this dance form with a song i understand, it was just such a pleasure to watch. This is a really risky dance form to do because it is hard to capture the audience due to its authenticity, however, I was so involved in their dance and they both were just so superb!!! Jeetu is just too amazing! I loved his expressions and perfect posture of a Russian dancer. Vaishnavi was very good too, but i agree that Jeetu was a notch better. Overall, I loved it! Great job!

Vatsal & Ammu (9.0) --> Man, all the performances today are just so good! I had such a great time watching this performance. It was so much fun, and it was perfectly in its element. The dragon portion was superb. It's so hard to dance with the dragon, and they both did it so easily and wonderfully. I wish they could have done more with the dragon, but of course they couldn't otherwise they wouldn't be able to do any floor dancing which we obviously need to see. Vatsal was SO good! I loved his expressions, and the way he stayed in that posture and performed was graceful! Well done!!!

Jai (10.0) --> HE IS SO DARN GOOD!! I just LOVE watching Jai dance. He is so clean and his lines are so beautiful. The entire performance from beginning to end was mesmerizing. After that stunt, he fell, but I loved the way he handled it and just continued as soon as he could. That is a sign of a great performer! =)

Mayuresh & Vrushali (9.0) --> Hmmmm I don't know how to start. Okay so, I think Terrance's first expression kind of gave it away, that it was not what he expected, nor was it what I expected. Yes, it was very beautiful and smooth, however, I found some portions messy and uncoordinated. The lifts were beautiful, but again, a little shaky. The end was scary! I can't believe Mayuresh didn't catch Vrush. Thank god he sort of got her in time before she could get really hurt. That could have been a bad fall! Anyway, Terrance didn't give this a "chumeshwari" performance, and I completely support him. They definitely bloomed because of Terrance, but I expected a little more from them. Overall, beautiful!


TERRANCE (10000) --> I LOVE THIS GUY! He is the best contemporary dancer/choreographer out there, and he definitely makes me proud to say that he is an INDIAN and he is just SUPERB! I will not be surprised if he gets the chance to go on So You Think You Can Dance and choreograph a contemporary routine there. I wish he wouldn't stop! I wanted to see more and more and more. This is a passionate dancer, and I wish him the best of luck. P.S. When he spoke at the end, I almost had tears in my eyes. I didn't know of Terrance or Geeta until DID, and now we all know them, and I just love how he appreciates the chance he was given. GO TERRANCE!!! 👏

Ok so I have to say today's episode was the best episode of DID. Ever since I heard Jai-Mayu-Vrush were going to be on the show, I've always wanted to see them dance without the kids, and I got my wish today!!! Seeing Terence dance was the icing on the cake!
Ruturaj and Vaishnavi-8.75
Vaishnavi was far better than Ruturaj in this performance though I wouldn't say Ruturaj was bad. It's a very energetic dance and they performed well.
Manoj and Vrushali-9.5
This is definitely Manoj's week. He was outstanding! I loved their catwalk and I was so happy that Sandeep made them do it again! Amazing choreography too!
Atul and Papiya-9.5
Ok I have to say, I am not very fond of Afro-Jazz in general, but Atul-Papiya performed very well today! Jai's choreography was amazing as well! And Papiya, wow, she was soo good! I hate that she's out but atleast she went out with such a great performance by her!
Jeetumoni and Vaishnavi-9.5
The Russian folk dance was better than the Lindyhop, but Vaishnavi was better in the Lindyhop than this folk dance..Jeetu is just amazing! He's definitely one of the very best dancers on the show! Very well choreographed by Dharmesh!
Vatsal and Amrita-9.0
It was a very entertaining and lively performance! I'm so glad Vatsal is back! Good choreography from Amrita!
Jai-10
Now this is the Jai I LOVE! He's just BRILLIANT! It was soooo good and beautiful and smooth and I'm running out of adjectives! I just don't know what to say about him, so I'll just stop here! Also, I was so happy to see the Terence-Jai bond again! Terence adores Jai and respects him tremendously as a dancer, and so does Jai!
Mayu and Vrush- 9.75
I think this was my most favorite Mayu-Vrush duet! In DID1, it was usually Mayuresh-Alisha and Jai-Vrushali who shared the most amazing duets, and Mayuresh-Vrushali's duets were good but not as memorable as their duets with Jai and Alisha, so for me this was their best duet with each other. It was such a smooth and beautiful performance by both! They share awesome chemistry. Yes there were coordination mistakes, and Mayuresh didn't catch her in time at the end, but the dance itself was so beautiful for me that I can just let it go..They so cutely asked for their good points and bad points! I loved what Terence said about them and what Farah said to Terence--that Jai-Mayu-Vrush are so good because of him and his training! Also, it felt soo good to see the bond that Terence shared with Mayu-Vrush again--it's very easy to see that Mayu-Vrush simply adore Terence!
Terence-10000
WOW! What do even I rate him? He's just OUTSTANDING! Brillinat choreographer, brilliant dancer, amazing person! Loved what Sandeep and Farah said about him! Loved each and eveything he said after his performance about DID the stage! His passion for dance is inspiring! The AV for him was so sweet--how can you not love him? I'm so glad he came on DID so I got to know who he is because I had never even heard of his name before! I became his fan when I saw the very first choreography by him on DID with Mayuresh-Vrushali-Alisha on Jame Raho and I don't think I can ever dislike this guy!
Oh and btw, I think he did fall and it was not pasrt of the choreography, but he got up so fast and continued that you couldn't even tell!

😊 Jai's the best.
😊Terence as well.
😊Atul and Papiya just a step behind.

What i didn't like was the lion's dance perform by ammu and vatsal. The costumes were not right. The way they hold the lion were somewhat weird. Coz I seen better lion's dance here. Coz every year this group of lion's dance wiil come to my neighbourhood for the Chinese New Year. Nowadays they perform with more acrobatic and the lion looks so cute and naughty. I feel bad for Amrita, somewhere in my heart I hope I have the chance to talk to her about the dance. The simple way. Her idea of that dance was very unique but the performance was bad.

One more thing ....Actually it;s not dragon.. it's a lion. Dragon dance is different.

I'll start by saying that today's episode was one of the best for me too. Mind blowing performances, but especially because I got to see Terence after so long. So humble of him to fly down especially for the episode. Love him, totally! 😳

Jai (10.0) - If I could give more than that, I swear I would. With time, I've only seen the guy get better and better. He turns and gets up, and he has a style, a certain pose. No movement is just random dance, it's got emotion and that's something I've always loved about Jai. I remember they were once doubting about taking him in DID Season 1 in the audition episode or something. Or maybe it was a stunt or joke of some sort, but whatever. The fact that I've watched the performance nearly 50 times now itself says how much I've loved it. And as always, accepting on stage, and in the limelight episode that "no one is perfect and that we should all always try and get better and better" just made me feel for him. I love him, I guess that's the most I could say as praise! 😛

Jeetu & Vaishu (9.50) - The moment the dance got over, I felt Jeetumoni was better. I was so glad when Farah mentioned it, because I felt it immediately too. I loved their postures throughout and the fact that both of them, never went out of rhythm or beat. It was beautiful to watch, beautiful! And I love, love Dharmesh's song selection. I am still humming the song for this one since Saturday evening. He keeps the performances etched in your mind, one of the reasons that could garner so many votes for his contestants. Even the second duet was a nice, in fashion song. Song selection makes up a huge part of the dance, and half the battle is won there in my opinion if you get it right! .5 minus because Vaishanavi wasn't as good as Jeetu. 😉

Atul & Papiya (9.25) - Another important thing in dance. Execution. Once your dances live up to your choreography, half the battle is won again. And that's exactly what's happening with Jai too. I loved the choreography, and I've only ever watched Afro Jazz once or twice before so it was kind of cool really. Papiya was better than Atul, Atul seemed tired actually, maybe because it's starting to get tough. I will miss that girl, seriously I didn't want her to go! 0.75 minus for one transition on the trunk stands which seemed slightly, very slightly floppy and also because Atul seemed tired. 😊

Ruturaj & Vaishnavi (9.0) - I just glanced up and realized you talked about song selection too Charmz. LOL! Anyway, I loved it, I've watched Lindy Hop before, and I love that dance form for its pace and coolness. Though isn't it part of Hip Hop? I didn't get why Farah made that comment about Hip Hop! Nevertheless, I think it was really good. But I've got to admit, I've always loved Rutu-Vaishu duets much much more over Vaishu-Jeetu duets, until today. Today, I thought Jeetu-Vaishu stole it! 😃

M
anoj & Vrush (9.00) - Okay this is the Manoj I want to watch dancing. Glad Mayuresh-Vrushali are bucking up. He was amazing, much better even than Vrushali, especially in that cat walk. I was so so glad when they told him to do that again. I loved it. And some of those flips were mind blowing, even if I've seen Atul do various and various stunts. 😆



Vatsal & Ammu (9.0) - Vatsal! Superb! Plain superb! Why can't Amrita put as much Jaan in her solos? It hurts to see Vatsal getting bad comments in his solos. Well nevertheless, I guess it's over now anyways. Coming back to the performance, I loved the idea of the dragon, but I liked how they removed it and concentrated on some floor work too. I also loved how they shifted in the next segment and Vatsal put the dragon head and Amrita lifted him. That was intelligent to show he can handle it too! 😛

Mayuresh & Vrushali (8.75) - Finally some chemistry! I liked their performance, but somehow, I felt Jai before outshined them by so far that I couldn't fully enjoy their performance. Somehow, it felt like Mayuresh knew it too. Something on his face told me he did. The first lift was cool, how they started, but some of the other lifts were a bit sloppy, especially the one where she nearly falls. With the fact that they had only Manoj this weekend, I thought they could have prepared something much more impactful for a Terence special episode. Comparisons are bound to happen with Jai after all. But then, doing a duet is always more difficult than doing a solo, so credit to them for doing a beautiful one! 😃


Terence, I don't think I could rate that guy. His personality and humbleness and love for others hugely overshadows the fact that he's a genius choreographer and dancer, and that itself, could overwhelm anyone. I would certainly pray for his long life and health and prosperity, for someone who thinks more of others than of himself, he certainly, undoubtedly deserves it. And what a song to choose to perform on, Dil Toh Bacchaa Hai Ji on a kids dance show. So insightful in the first place. If he is not almost perfect, who is....? I love him, plain and simple! 😳
