Salman = "Old wine in a new bottle" - Page 5

Errr...Remo-Terence are professional choreographers, teachers first...then judges. They still choreograph a lot. Remo does a lot of work in BW and Terence does more stuff around the world. Not to forget that they are the actual choreographers in the main seasons of DID. Both Remo-Terence have choreographed 3 seasons' worth of stuff in DID too..and in one season they have BOTH shown more variety than Salman has in 3 seasons.

Remo's forte is all sorts of hip-hop, but he's choreographed all sorts of classical/folk Indian dances, contemporary, aerial, ballroom, Latin dances, Bollywood, Tap, a bunch of hip-hop, theatrical...and I don't even know what else. Same with Terence. Plus their knowledge of various dance forms, especially Terence's is amazing. Neither relied only on their strengths to take their dancers through.

Of course everyone has limitations..but what's the harm in actually TRYING something new?

Hear Hear👏👏 Satya Vachan! lol...and that's the difference b/w students and teachers.

And if people really want to get technical, as you said PRINCE has proven to be a better choreographer despite being considered restricted to his popping locking style...but then that is the thing naa...the people who get brought on board for DID seasons are actually capable of choreography to that extent...guess it's too much to expect variety in JDJ especially from Remo's "Happy Family" gang😆

The point being...Salman is not the WORST choreographer on JDJ...not at all...but he is definitely overhyped and anyone who has followed even one season of JDJ can see that he is afraid to step out of his comfort zone of contemporary/acrobatic routines...he hovers in that zone and adopts concepts around that...otherwise can anyone explain what kind of adaptation of "wheels" was that in his second act this season on domestic abuse? LOL where the "concept" did away with the use of the prop totally...amazing.

Also as we discussed before...he doesn't LISTEN to the MUSIC to choreograph accordingly vis a vis beats.

LOL Remo-Terence have been in the business some 15-20 years...they definitely know more and show more..exactly that's why they are the teachers and Salman is a student.

Remo brought good choreographers like Shampa, Tushar on board too..if he just shows the same logical reasoning with other people like Sushant, Sanam then it would have been even better..

@bold
EXACTLY! Extremely well put Anu..that's what the point is..Salman is NOT the worst choreographer, definitely not. But he's also not as amazing as he's made to seem...and therein lies the problem. For someone who receives so much praise, he shouldn't be so repetitive. ..just that's it.

😭I think JDJ as a whole should get a lil more strict and professional. The show itself is no less that K serial.. Few sob stories, few chot stories, silly comical craps...Cut the crap, show the dance.

Sadly despite my love for him, I have to agree with Chandu's words. I hardly visit the forum but I do watch his acts online but I'm yet to come across something new from this season. He seems somewhat stagnated and repeats his own steps/moves from previous acts

i've been watching this guy from DID days.. he is a good dancer but can't say tat abt d choreographer in him cuz he has become much repeatitive tat people tends to forget by now wat else he has tried in DID or say remo made him do... forget abt classical and bollywood he is not even trying hip hop...

talking abt JDJ, the show was much much much better 2 yrs back with less drama, less stunts and more dance... watz with the theme thing in this show... for lords sake this is a dance show not some acting contest or daily soap.. they should give dance styles every week instead of theme..

people wants to see sonali nd sumant doing act without lifts, i too want, not only em but every others including salman.. Is it like drashti dhami is a bad dancer tat salman can't take d risk of making her do dance, by dance i mean dance with less lifts/stunts nd more moves...

Bang on post... i agree he isn't doing a good job this time...

i have to agree with u...salman is really not being able to recreate the same magic that he created in last season... 

i am not saying that he is not a good choreographer ..of course he is one of the best... last year i used to admire salman a lot but i must say that ,this year his choreography is quite disappointing...though only two or three act are not enough to judge him still i have to say that his acts lack creativity... 

Question of non versatality should not arise for the choreographer who after choreographing his 35 acts in jhalak is moulding and repeating his own concepts ... Question of non versatality should arise for that choreographer who just did his 4 acts in jhalak ...3 out of them were contemporary ..and one was blatantly copied from nach baliye ...non only concept but choreography as well..Great vision of copy pasting i must say ...amazing to see how some people who are CRITICIZING Salman right left center even after he showed  forms like rumba..waltz...kalari chau ...hip hop.. krumping and various other forms he did in season 4..are blindally appreciating tushar  who in his first season did nothing apart from contemporaryy ... It doesnt matter if salman have done aerial infinite times ... point is drashti never did it before and he made her do it properly  ! even a child can make out the difference between his last yr aerial act and this one !

Salman does not deserve to be compared with every second choreographer ..i said about tushar becoz people need reality check here ... fyi his 2nd act was also HIGHLY inspired from sytycd !

P.S Reply from a FANGIRL of salman that too biased ...feel free to pass ur remarks by quoting me ...i may not be even bother to reply !

Some comments cracked me up 🤣
