Well, yes, they do have some flaws in their dancing. Their forte is salsa, which is very fast paced and energetic, and when they try to to classical, Kathak in this case, they don't quite pull off that grace and polish in each step that should come with classical dancing.
But, the thing is that the judges don't really critique the classical dance steps that severely. Madhuri Dixit basically showers everyone who even attempts classical with superfluous compliments, and Remo might make a comment now and then. I was glad when he pointed out Sana's weird Kathakali bit (i thought I was the only one who hated it until he commented). And Sonali/Sumant's south indian classical inspired dance where they painted themselves bronze? Anyone remember that? Well, that one had a lot of difficult lifts and stunts, but the actual dance part was mediocre. Sonali and Sumant don't have the right body language. They rush each step and their only strong point is how fast they can dance. But the judges didn't see that and gave them perfect scores. And in Mukti's Jaan Ke Liye Dance this week, she did a lot of Bharatanatyam adavus, and she had the PERFECT body language, but no one even pointed that out. They just said they liked her dancing better than Sidharth's but no one freaking pointed that out!! So, I guess that is kind of the reason why? The judges don't really pay close enough attention to the classical dances.
That being said, I am a fan of theirs. No one can beat them when it comes to doing lifts or the fast paced dances that they do, but it's just their classical pieces that pissed me off. It lacks finesse.
