Firstly, the core solution is that the program should be changed to be strictly for non-dancers only. Else, this issue will happen all the time. In any competition, you need to have participants with a similar skill set and the parameters of judgement fixed, measurable and verifiable.
The reason Faisal winning is unfair according to me are :
a) Dancing like any art form improves with training and a person with years of focussed training is surely at an advantage instantly compared to a person without such a background of training. For a real non-dancer, even balancing will be a problem initially.
So imagine, they have 2 days to prepare for a dance. A non-dancer would have to learn the basics and slowly evolve to include some difficult steps and then try to get some wow steps if possible. On the other hand, a dancer like Faisal would meet up with another fab dancer Vaishnavi, and say...hey lets do the butterfly-twist or something and instantly they would try it and get it. So the result that can be achieved in the same 2 days differs because of the years of training before. Its not a question of real talent still.
Sanaya's performances have really improved for a non-dancer and everyone has acknowledged this. She has mastered basics, done difficult steps and even performed many wow steps in -every- dance in this short time period.
b) Choreography : Faisal, Vaishnavi and Vivek - 3 dancing minds vs Jai - 1 mind. Just think and you would realize how unfair it is.
May be a dancer sould be paired up with another person without a choreographer with them. But with a choreographer too present, you have a major unfairness to all other participants.
Its not fair to Sanaya that she didnt win because inspite of becoming the best among the non-dancers, she didnt get the trophy because her final hurdle was to compete with person with years of training against her 13-14 weeks.
Faisal's win surely reiterates that he is an excellent dancer but Sanaya's win would have inspired people that with focus and hardwork, even a non-dancer can do wonders .
