This was a good episode in terms of DANCE!! Lots of dancing -- FINALLY!
Of course im routing for the girls all the way so am happy they are leading.
Rakhi --> Of course she is a SUPERB dancer and I agree with Arshad that the choreographers didn't do justice to Rakhi's capabilities. Whatever they did choreograph, Rakhi clearly nailed every single bit of it. Very graceful, awesome expressions, full out dancer who is capable of SO much more!
Angad/Hazel --> This was a very sweet act, but honestly, I did not enjoy it much. Hazel was graceful no doubt, but I doubt she was a little too bouncy for this routine. Angad has clean lines, however, he did not seem comfortable in this dance. I think their partner work was a little messy and as Vaibhavi said, Hazel needs to be stern in her posture so Angad can perform the lifts in full. Mediocre.
Siddesh/Rashmi --> Quite honestly, I thought this was a boring dance. Rashmi is definitely graceful, however she was very very off beat. Sometimes it seemed like she was running ahead of the song, and sometimes she was falling back. Siddesh is probably the best dancer on the show (my opinion) and according to the style he was given, he was good and strong, however, even has a Metador, he could have danced a lot more. I think the choreographer didn't utilize his skills enough. Overall -- I thought Siddesh was more powerful and Rashmi was graceful, but she lacked the energy and rhythm.
Girls Act --> Very very very entertaining!!! Loved every single song they chose and it was full of energy. However, the girls lack LOTS of coordination. I was quite shocked that none of the judges pointed out their lack of synchronization. Either way, lots of fun to watch!
Boys Act --> Super cute!!! I think this is the most simplest act the boys have done and sometimes that's all it takes to put on a good performance. I thoroughly enjoyed their act mainly for their adorable expressions and moves. Also, the boys have great coordination, which the girls lack. However, in terms of entertainment, I enjoyed the girls a lot more this time around!
Sangeeta --> It was very pleasant to see this act. I thought she did a fabulous job and loved the style! She definitely caught me by surprise because I didn't expect this from her, and she did great!
Akshat --> WOW!!!!!! I mean, I have no words to express how amazing he was! This was my favorite performance of the night! I was was delighted after watching Sangeeta's beautiful performance, but after seeing Akshat, he clearly blew my mind! You can tell that he was dancing with full passion and dedication, and wow the knee plunges! Those are SO tough and painful yet he did it so beautifully and without any hesitation. Definitely proud of his performance!!! He stole the show!!!
Overall --> Good performances, Akshat ROCKED and this year, ZND is clearly reaching higher heights in terms of choreography, innovation, creativity, difficulty, xfactor, and props! Can't wait to see what's next!
