Hopefully none of you missed the premiere of Superstars of Dance last night. This is a competition to see the best dancers in the world and the countries competing are India, China, USA, Ireland, Australia, Argentina, South Africa and Russia. Now this is only my opinion, but after watching the show last night, not only were some of the dances not even "dances" in my eyes, but the ones that were dances were not that impressive. I hope there are better dancers in each of these countries. I hope I do not sound ignorant, but the solo South African dance really simply looked like the guy was kicked the air and was spazzing out. Maybe it would have looked like a dance with more people, but definitely not fit for this competition.

I was also not impressed with the two girls who did the Bollywood dance.They had a decent performance, but there are so many better dancers that they could have taken from Bollywood. In fact, I was really thinking in my head that a majority of the collegiate Bhangra, Raas, and garba teams could have made a much better impression. The solo girl who did the classical segment was pretty good though. I thought the beginning was slow but the spins at the end killed it. Lets hope the rest of the performances get better and hopefully some better Indian dances will be displayed.

I will put up videos as soon as they are up, even though they will probably be removed within a week. Let me hear what you have to say about the show.

Freaxs03 on the DDT Forums recently posted a great article discussing the many elements of the art of Indian fusion dances. Read it here:

"The opinion and views expressed are from myself and do not reflect any of the events nor from the board members that I affiliate and organize with. I know this topic has been brought up in so many occasions. I'm not bothered nor upset at where it stands today. I enjoy coming to these shows, and learn something by watching these teams and seeing this scene grow. I just want to bring some awareness, and understand to your minds on this subject, particularly on choreography. These are views from a dancers perspective and not as an organizer. I'm not the best dancer nor claim to be one. As always we are here to unite and embrace the arts and music of our culture where ever we're from or represented. Feel free to add in, debate, or disagree with me. It's a good way to get a clear out thought on this subject. I' have been in the hip hop/break'n scene like forever and the bollywood-fusion scene for 5-6 years. I pretty much seen almost all and I enjoy all styles of dance. Once again it is great that bollywood-fusion scene is growing and the teams are becoming very talented, but I have to say that some teams who are very skillful are bringing the poorest idea and form of fusion dance. Obviously fusion
