Team spirit regarding DKS ... obviously there was no team spirit in the original DID format since they were all competing with each other. I am referring to their team spirits on this show. I don't think it's the problem of being taken personally, it's just that watching it on TV ... it doesn't seem like it's said in a light way. You like Season 1, so perhaps you're just as biased as a Season 2 fan and fails to see what he or she would see. Yes, the original DID doesn't have a team spirit format but bonding b/w the contestants is obvious either way...I think the case is more about how many ppl in here have only watched season 2 so they like to presume that only the season 2 contestants got along with each other and the season 1 contestants didn't...I"m observing both teams in DKS and I honestly feel BOTH teams have a good team spirit...I don't see it as my bias so to say...

This is possibly the only non-AT topic I feel like commenting in πŸ˜†
I have always wanted to see Vrush-Siddesh dance together because these 2 are amazing dancers and I've never seen them dance together in a duet. I was really looking forward to their duet in DID1 for Geeta's round but unfortunately Vrush got out that week 😭 It was a very nice performance! There were mistakes but these 2 are good at not letting you feel like they've messed up.
I liked Jai-Bhavna's lindy hop as well. Very energetic and lovely to see..how did Jai do that flip on Bhavna? It was nicely done..
Though Vaishu-Rutu were mindblowing and the best duet :D
Today in solos, DID1 outshone DID2.
Mayuresh was simply WOW WOW WOW. DID1 has the soloists of the competition IMHO. When his performance started and the voiceover said Mayu is out of competition, it brought back all those memories of his elimination. And then his performance was just too good! I was soo happy for him--Marzi standing up on the table and bowing πŸ˜†, Remo's MJ band. Too happy for him.
Siddesh was amazing as well! Such a refreshing concept and beautifully done..It was endearing to see him break down the way he did with all the praise, especially with Remo's. I didn't know that he, as a soloist, had never gotten a that's what I call a performance from Remo. If I remember correctly, Siddesh really loved Remo..bohut maanta hai Remo ko but because of the Pirnce vs. him fiasco, he never reallygot his due from Remo. Happy he finally got it :) DID1 doesn't have the passion for dance? Just watch this please.
I wish Jai had managed to do what he wanted with the ladder. It would have been amazing. All in all not my favorite Jai solo.
I absolutely adore Amar but his solo wasn't my favorite :( But I KNOW he will bounce back! Punit..maybe it's just me but I have never been wowed by him in contemporary the way I have been by Shakti, Mayuresh, Jai, Amar..which is weird because Punit's forte is contemporary. He was good today but still nothing to make me go wow. Seeing the comments in the forum and the judges, maybe it is just me lol. Rutu is such a CUTIEPIE! I just wanna give him a giant hug!! My favorite DID2 solo today! :D
Missed the takkar..
Whew..this is way too long..πŸ˜†

@bold: Totally agree! I loveddd Mayuresh's act especially today! Superb! There's a rare kind of finesse to the way Mayuresh does these kind of aerial/pole waali acts...none of the others can even begin to touch him on this...and I loved the unique choreography of Siddesh's act...he pulled it off so well too.

Also WORD about Punit...I seriously do not get the hype about his contemporary technique...I've honestly never warmed up to it...he's a good dancer otherwise but seriously I don't enjoy his contemporary pieces much...I see faaar more finesse and grace to the way Mayuresh and Jai perform their contemporary acts...or even Amar from DID-2 for that matter is better than Punit...

The takkar was fabb...Vrushali-Kruti were both excellentπŸ‘πŸ‘

Totally agree! Mayuresh started the aerial acts in DID1 and so many others have done them after him..in fact season 2 had an aerial act almost every episode, but the grace, technique, finesse, like you put it, that Mayuresh has, others simply don't. He is simply a pleasure to watch in these aerial/pole-type acts. So happy when Remo said that Mayuresh is the best when it comes to these acts!
As for Punit, thank god it's not just me πŸ˜† Never liked Punit's contemporary much..I honestly do find it weird because he trained with Terence and he was in the same batch as Mayuresh..and umm there's a BIG difference in the way Punit does it and the way Mayuresh does it. I like the guy but his contemporary doesn't impress me much.
I'll be watching teh takkar very shortly πŸ˜† I think they should have saved this one for when Geeta shows up though..Sigh I miss Terence 😭 Will he ever come to DKS?

I liked this performance mostly cos of the expressions. I liked how both Siddhesh and Vrushali were looking into each other's eyes .. went with the passionate tone of the song. There were little bits in their dance where their expressions went with the song very nicely, especially Vrushali's when Siddhesh turned that door in the beginning. I liked the concept too... simple sweet and dreamy.

The only thing which I felt a little weird was that the dance steps seemed very slow in the beginning, not utilizing all the beats in the song. (I dont know if I conveyed what I wanted to say lol ) But that was only in the beginning. After that the performance went very well.

My pleasure.πŸ˜ƒ

yes, shakti did it with sushant, but i always felt it lacked something, i am not a trained ballroom dancer, so couldnt figure it out, now i know, what rumba really looks like

although today i am supremely disappointed at vrushali and kruti, i opened a thread, sadly , no one seems to notice it.πŸ˜•

lol i always say i am a sucker for classical dance and classical dancers, so thats why i give it so much importance. classical Indian dance teaches u nritya, which not only includes dance beats but also natya or acting. anyways I am not what u call a real dancer, but i learned bits of bharatnatyam and manipuri as a kid, and i find no problem doing hip hops or street dancing( although not in a real dancer way, just frnds party)
but u r so right, they r such intelligent performers, dancers will come and go but these two seasons will always be a pioneer
btw: i think amit falon did a rumba, have to check the videos, they were always jumping over each other so much.


You're right that classical dances teaches you the nritya and the natya hence you also get a training with the expressions. But those expressions are also within a certain context. It's a different thing to apply that to something else. Like for example, classical dance never requires you to give "sexy" (for the lack of a better word) kind of expressions. And by sexy I don't mean sensual of course. I mean the kind of flirtatious expressions latin ballroom styles require. So for a classical dancer it would be a challenge to fit into that "sexy" kind of a character. I remember Kruti had trouble with this during her first jazz performance in DID 2. And for dance styles like hip-hop you don't even need to express much. There it's mostly about the attitude, aggression and confidence. Plus whereas classical requires you to be graceful, hip-hop is the total opposite. So you can see how these are just two totally opposing kind of dance styles. I'm just trying to prove my point that being trained in classical dancing doesn't automatically give you an edge over other forms of training. I don't think there is a distinct rule like that or anything. Versatility requires that natural ability to feel the music I think. And of course the hard work to be able to learn a different style.

I think it's easier to be versatile actually if you don't have an intense training background. Then you can easily adapt to other styles.

Anyways, that's really awesome for you though that despite your classical background you have no trouble doing hip-hop or street dance styles. Maybe you should try out for the next DID season. πŸ˜›πŸ˜†

Siddhesh is a brilliant dancer but sometimes I do feel he needs a bit of humble pie.

Haha same here actually. :P I also liked Siddesh better in that particular competition. Otherwise I think no one can really touch Prince with what he does best.

Oh and yeah Siddesh doesn't have the best of personalities. Which can be a turn off for a lot of people. But when it comes to performing/dancing, he is truly exceptional. So I have respect for him as an artist. :)

They're brilliant dancers, and what sets the two apart is that they have a lot of stage presence! I noticed that about Vrushali when she dances with Daya in JDJ as well as with Siddhesh in ZND. (I didn't watch DID 1, hence the non-DID comparisions!) They complemented each other well in the rumba, and what I loved is that they complemented each other really well without overshadowing each other's performance. Although the performance was not perfect, it was hard to take your eyes off the pair in that performance!


@Bold: Exactlyyy! πŸ˜‰ That's pretty much what I was trying to say too. These guys entertain me and keep me hooked to their performances despite making mistakes. And I really can't say that for a lot of people where mistakes are usually so jarring to watch. Totally agree with you that what sets them apart is indeed their stage presence. :)

Pallo, lovely postπŸ‘πŸΌ...a rare "non season 1 contestants hating" post in here so that's always refreshingπŸ˜‰πŸ˜†

Otherwise all I see overflowing in this forum are posts about how "arrogant" the season 1 contestants are and how they all suckπŸ˜†...it seems this forum has transformed during season 2 and ppl only watched season 2 of DID...I personally having watched both seasons still feel there's an edge to the season 1 performers...also I don't find them to be "arrogant" like many in here deem them to be just cuz they happened to tout themselves more as a team...I like their honesty :P...and more importantly their abilities as performersπŸ‘...maybe they should have been observed more in context of season 1 to fully understand them before passing sweeping judgments on them :-)

Thanks Anuu! πŸ˜‰πŸ€—πŸ˜†

Word about this forum turning into this 'anti-season 1' forum or something. I don't even understand where this is coming from. πŸ˜•πŸ˜† Why are people getting so hyper anyways? Aissa kya kar diya season 1 walon ne?? Beats me. πŸ˜•πŸ˜† Well, as we know from previous forum experiences, people here on IF are always ready to jump to conclusions and think that they are experts at judging characters. πŸ˜•

I really think there is no kadar for genuineness anymore. I also like season 1's honesty. Plus the whole point of this show is the two teams taking digs at each other and flaunting their strengths. I see season 2 doing that too. So they must also be termed "arrogant" by that logic then. Phir toh yeh pura show hi "arrogant" hai. Why are we even having this competition again?? πŸ˜›πŸ˜†

I wish the forum members here would just chill and not turn this into some huge moral concern worthy of discussing these guys' characters for! πŸ˜• All these guys are just competing and having fun! What's the big deal!

And word about season 1 having an edge not only as dancers but as performers! I think that's basically the main reason I am always drawn to these guys more. I still go back and watch DID 1 performances often. That's the impact these guys left on me. Even their whole struggle..especially Jai, Paulson and Siddesh's. Their emotions and journey from how raw they used to be until now. Just that whole experience of DID 1 left me so attached to these contestants...something DID 2 could never manage to do even though that season also had some brilliant dancers, no doubt. As you said, people really need to understand that whole context before passing judgements avin hi.

Thank you! 😊 I am glad you could find a place to word out your thoughts. Thanks for sharing them. :)

Word about wanting to see Vrushali-Siddesh perform since DID 1. I was also really excited to see Geeta's duet with these guys but too bad Vrushali got out then. But I'm glad we got to see these guys pair up this time. In fact, I am actually loving how we are getting to see such interesting pairs and trios thanks to this show concept in general. πŸ‘πŸΌ

About the performance, yeah I agree there were some obvious mistakes with balancing and slipping on the stage. But I just loved the personality and confidence these guys brought on stage. It just made me respect them as artists...hence this post. πŸ˜†

@Bold: Oh thank you!! That is EXACTLY how I feel everytime I watch Jai perform! Ki how the heck does he do these things? πŸ˜† I could think of the craziest, hardest possible dance move...and this guy would pull it off like it was nothing. πŸ˜²πŸ˜† He's just too awesome for words.

I mostly enjoyed these two performances from Friday because they were such refreshing dance styles. We've seen so much of contemporary and lyrical hip-hop now. I needed a change. πŸ˜†

I'll reply to the rest of your post about the solo round along with Anu(nureat01)'s post. I also have the same thoughts as you guys. πŸ˜‰

Hey Nikki. Thanks so much for posting your thoughts here. Nice to see you on the forum. :)

@ bold: Oh I see what you mean. Yeah the beginning of the song definitely wasn't fully utilized. It was a slow start definitely...I think it was kind of required also to set the mood...but yeah the choreography could've been better there. Once the actual Rumba style started, it was much better definitely. Good point.

And totally agree with you about the expressions of these guys. That's exactly why I love these two. πŸ˜† I thought this was one of the few duets in this show we've seen thus far...where the partners were actually looking into each other's eyes and reacting off of each other's expressions. They were truly complimenting each other in that sense. I liked the concept too and the way that door rotates in the end. Kind of gives you that feeling of whether the girl is real or a figment of the guy's imagination...goes with the lyrics of the song too. It was indeed a simple and sweet performance. :)

Did you watch the Kruti v/s Vrushali faceoff?? Would love to read your views on that too :-)
