On a serious note, I think its more to do with what they think appeals to the audience..
Even if it is for the reason that you stated (lets take for argument sake!) I wont' support it! 😛


see the thing is.. if they do pure dance it would still be popular.. because to appeal to public you need eye pleasing things... an appealing dance.. the thing is.. judges are not competent , choreos are not competent.. most of them have learnt one or two dance forms and entirely depend on videso to come up with their choreography.. you can clearly see their knowledge of various art forms is limited...and you have participants who can't committ to the show..

HENCE, you as colors know that it is not a great package, but the trump card is that Indian population is not aware of the western dances... so if so called judges go ga ga... that would atleast make the ignorant ones think that this was a good performance.. and that's how it stands..

Lastly, i know a lot of people are DID fans.. but even DID is losing plot in terms of showing variety... there is so much to explore indian or other countries.. and its a shame that nothing is being explored..

china/ south east asia.. african tribes have other dance forms too.. foxtrot.. so many other european dances..

BUT alas,

@enigmatic_zephy - I agree with you partly... The Indian Audience (most of them) are ignorant about the western dances. When we used to learn Indian classical dances our mothers would surely be able to point out mistakes in the Mudras and correct us. but now when my niece comes back from her Hip Hop classes and talks abot it, I cannot make head and tail of what she is talking!😆 This generation seriously fancies the western dance forms and the channels are taking advantage of it..

Regarding the competence of the judges, I don't think I am competent enough to comment on that. But yes their bias is clearly visible and I am just feeling bad for them! I don't understand why they have to just agree to what ever the channel says.. For someone like Madhuri, KJ and Remo it sounds very very absurd!

The comments that they give, points out NOTHING technical... I as a novice in the dance forms can clearly see some sloppy lifts, Some missed steps and funny movement of hands by the contestants as well as in some case coreos.. But why are the judges not pointing such things out...

🥱

I want the Dance(⭐️) to win on this floor!

I love it when people have neutral respectful debtates on actual DANCE and technique...every thought this day would ever come. 😭

JK! 😆

I agree with you guys and your various perspectives. JDJ is doing an awful job with dances these season. Even last year's themes were better. Props (like wheels) are a great addition to the dance, but I hate it when people just do stunts in the name of dance. Lifts are great but it's not dance, just a tiny manifestation of it. Either way, more traditional Indian dances or newer Latin dances like rumba, mambo, etc. Hip hop and item songs are getting a bit over-rated.

goodness! and you have to post this Derek-Shawn performance..😃
I remember seeing Ekta Kaul's first performance and Shawn came to my mind..
the way Ekta did not have much expression but the movements were there made me think of their similarities.. i had hopes she'll turn it around for sure..
unfortunately, she does not have that much voting support she just had to go..

EDIT: now, i am even more convinced that a dog who can dance salsa could win this show 😆

OMG!!! Thanx a lot for sharing! I loved it and yea JDJ looks like crap in front of this. They really are doing a better job than some desis who act like they know the A to Z of hip hop...

Iam personally loving DID Super Mums way better than this show... Much more substance and much less nautanki.
