I was watching the MediaCorp's newest reality show "The Dance Floor", with all the auditions and the first "shuffle round"....You guys know what was running through my twisted mind? Where the HELL are the Indians? There were a few scattered here and there but not even ONE serious full Indian Dance Group.
What happened to the Rameshwara's and the Syndicates and the one with the Human Monkey (eheh)??? I saw SO many dance groups in the Vasantham Central "DHOOL" comp, so I'll bet all my annual leave on the fact that there are really good dancers amongst us...
D'ya guys think that a major factor that is holding 'em back is the fear of PUBLIC humilation? Are they afraid that they will not be to take in criticism by *QUALIFIED* judges and not certain numbskulls who are just sponsors or radio deejays??? It is very sad to see to such good talent going to waste in Vasantham Central and of course those comps held in CCs and Polys.
*SIGH*

I wonder if there is a restrictive clause that states that professionals or mediacorp employees cannot take part. Maybe you can't join more than one competition at a time. A case of too many dance competitions taking place at the same time?
Frankly i don't really fancy the Dance Floor programme. Its like Dhool just that its in English(basically for amauteurs ). I do support Dhool and its really heartening to see so many groups taking part. However, i think the judges' expectation for Dhool is rather unrealistic. Yes, the latest craze in dancing is Hip Hop so thats why so many of the makkal participants are displaying it. The judges expect them to add abit of Salsa, classical,contemporary and etc.
How can???
These people are not professionals. Its nothing compared to the prog, 'So you think you can Dance?' I followed this series faithfully and the participants are professionals in their own field. They are really good.
Maybe the Dhool Finalists should be given an intro or some kind of workshop to expose them to the different dance styles. And perhaps they can then incorporate it into their final dance segment.
Yes i do agree its a pity not many makkals (or maybe none) got into the Dance Floor audition.
But i still prefer watching Dhool to Dance Floor.
