A big bow down to Dance+ season 4... There are lots of reasons for thanking Dance+ 4 from the bottom of my heart. First and foremost reason being:
Celebrating the people behind the talent also, while celebrating talent itself
Every week there is a celebrity guest called to join the judges. The premier show had the people who were the reason behind the selected 12 talents as the chief guests e.g. Parents, Siblings.. , for evaluating the performance, which is a brilliant concept.
When such widely watched shows take up such concepts of bringing the values of life - of being thankful to those who support us in our path to success/fame - then it creates a big impact. When we use the big/small screen (movies and daily serials) for the corruption of the mind of the individuals in the family, then by that logic, the current serials (at least some of them), advertisements, and such reality TV that promote positive thoughts and values should be able to create a positive change.
My heartfelt thanks to the person/people behind the conceptualisation of this idea as a theme for the Dance+ 4 reality show @_danceplus4
The dedication and love towards the art form of Dance
Be it the judges, contestants or the celebrity guest who come, their dedication and love for the art form of dance is very evident. The praises and the manner in which the comments are given or the criticism is rendered is so filled with genuine concern for the contestant to do better and the love and respect towards the effort that goes into the performance and pure love to be able to make a positive difference in every person's life that they touch!
Overflows with Love and Humanity
The entire program overflows with the pureness of love, affection, simplicity (sans the stardom) and respect for each other that it makes you want to keep watching it always. Makes you believe that there is a fair playing ground if you really have it in you. Also, the judges (#punitjpathak, #shaktimohan, #dharmeshbhai, #RemoDsouzasir) and the contestants alike place humanity above everything else. They realise and show that small things make a huge difference and ensure that, in their individual ways, make small gestures that makes a huge impact in each other's life and through watching this program, in our lives as well, by filling it with hope, love and happiness (at least for that 1.5 hours of the program).Breaking Stereotypes
In their small way, after 3 seasons, in this season, they seem to have a lot of "firsts":
- The Goggle crew - a Belly dancing all boys group - a fluid dance form beautifully executed.
- Vartika Jha - A female dancer performing hip-hop and popping - dance forms that are considered very rigid and tough.
- Feel Crew - a group that dances on dialogues - the first audition dance on a message on female rapes and a simple solution to fix this problem (educate the boys to behave), and the second audition dance on the famous Deewar movie temple dialogue "मेरी माँ वापस लौटा दो।"
- Chennai traditional attire on National-level show - being a Chennaite, it feels great to see this on national television (I know they had a Bharathanaatiyam group in the previous season).
Quality of Performances
True to the name of the program, this time the premier of the show itself has performances that are at the level of finale performances. Makes me wonder what the finale would be like. I pity Remo D'Souza , who is in the most difficult, judging position.
This is one program that I enjoy watching. This season is brimming with such positivism and talent that it makes me want to watch it regularly.
