who'd ever take a dance style so seriously?? People are talking about performance here.. 😕 .. not bull-fight, do you see any bulls in the performances 😕

😕 oh so according to your logic, it would be perfectly fine to choreograph a dance around the taking of a human life as well....after all who cares, it's just a dance style right? The point is that this "dance form" is glorifying the killing of a bull........and frankly being that a lot of people are vegetarians precisely for the reason that they don't want to hurt a living creature, this "dance form" is in poor taste.........😕 Since when did we start calling barbaric acts such as bull fighting dance forms? 😕

So if fighting over bulls is over, lemme know, I will suggest some other animal, maybe Ox this time...

Boss, itni tension lene ki zaroorat nahin hai life mein. Chill kar na yaar... Koi hurt hua? Koi bull dikha?

Chill na... When you see an actual bull there (although there is one every time... ehem!), you can go ahead and comment.. 😉

I think Cornell and Sonali are doing a fabulous job! For me they are the best dancers and their Paso Doble was the BEST so far.

GO CORNELL AND SONALI!!

No question - Amar and Shakti without any doubt!!! Their act was flawless and the way Shakti did the kick at the exact beat, WOW!!! It's beyond any words... And then the twist at the end - MINDBLOWING!!!! I can watch it a million times and still love watching it!!!!

Second one is Mayuresh and Alisha one! The posture, aggression, transition of moves are all very crucial in Paso Doble and similar dance forms. When any of these are missed or slightly low, the whole act will look dull...

I agree 100%. In Cornali's performance, i didn't see the aggressiveness of the bull. Looks like they were doing a latin dance (I really can't tell the difference between a jive, salsa and all of that), except Tango.

Thank you Desi! Yes their performance looked more like a normal ballroom number, and more romantic than the bull-fighting attitude.. Paso Doble can be done in two ways, one with the bull as the partner for the matador, and one with a flamenco dancer.. Sonali didnt fit into either role..

Jive is more like, what do ya say.. It's similar to Jitterbug, with quick n short twists and turns, and more of a floor dance.. Salsa is a hot and sensual kind, and has fast and vigorous steps, plus lots of lifts.. The best salsa I saw on DID was the Salman-Alisha one (Cuban Salsa) for the Masakali song in Terence Special episode..
