good very good. Needed such a thread. There are lot's of members well trained and well versed in different forms of dance and they can come and discuss the different aspects of dance and whether contestants are doing justice to that or not.

Note to everyone: Please do not turn this thread into a fight/ bash/ gush corner. This thread will discuss about dance and possible might criticize your favourite celeb. If you feel the point of view of someone is wrong, feel free to refute them logically.

I am glad I found this thread because I have a huge grouse with the way Isha Shervani's performance was judged today. I found the performance predictable. My main issue was with her lack of expression and investment in what she was doing. I am not saying she was bad by any means, but I would not say "this is it." I expected a lot more from her, especially in her own forte.

Another big problem was that her timing was not at all precise enough which is hugely important for a slower number, because in a faster one timing slips can be covered with energy and enthusiasm. In a slower song, because it doesn't have a catchy beat, you really need your timing to be spot on and I found that lacking. Let's not even get started on that drop by her partner, which certainly should have cost them much more than it did in terms of marks. If Jausuriya was judged, keeping in mind that he is not at all a dancer, I expected much harsher critique from the judges for a performance I found OKAY from a professional dancer, performing in a style she performs for a living. I have seen her perform live and I can say this is not her personal best either.

Until her performance, I was with the judges on pretty much everything (though I thought they were a little too generous to Jayasuriya but he is so cute that I can let it slide! 😆).

My reviews till now...

This season is a must watch for sure...Best season till now after the first one...All the contestants are good...I'm thoroughly enjoying all the performances...I loved Bharti(full-on entertainer), Jayasuriya(unexpected but surprise package), Jayati(cuteness personified) a lot...kudos to them for being non-dancers and giving it their best shot.

Isha is a trained dancer, so that mistake was unexpected but I guess the nervousness made all the difference... It was the best performance till now👏.

Shivani and Gia were okay... Gurmeets performance was good his entry was super-duper,awesome...but he is stiff mainly his upper body and around his hip area...but u know what I have confidence this man will improve just like his acting he will surely go the distance...I'm so glad that they mentioned Ramayan😃...Just like how he was initially in Ramayan a bit iffy in his acting, his dance performance today was the same...His acting by the end of Ramayan was mindboggling and so will his performances be in JDJ...Shampa and alll the judges agree that he is stiff...thank god they have identified that...Best of luck Gurmeet 👍🏼...I will support u thru'out no matter what is the result😊

will edit later on

wow love this thread and thanks for this...I am a dancer so I wanted a thread where I can discuss about the "dancing" of the contestants ...

I missed jayasuriya's performance and am shocked he got 27 as I had been hearing he cant dance at all...but anyways will see how it was actually, the judges anyways seemed too liberal with the marks today...

I will post my comments after watching all the dances

I was surprised at the marks Sushil and the cricket player (not a cricket fan...so don't remember his name) got...the judges should have been encouraging in their remarks, but not unnecessarily favorable in their score cards...they didn't do this for everyone else...so why these 2?
