Would anyone who watches a lot of Bollywood movies be willing to watch this and tell me how the dancing is? (possible spoilers for So You Think You Can Dance Top 12)

I am really really happy about more cultures being represented on the show (Chinese folk dancing pleeeaaaseeeee?), but I haven't watched enough Bollywood dancing myself to be able to tell about technique and etc., and I'm pretty sure the judges haven't either. Also, I think a lot of the praise from the judges is coming from just having a Bollywood dance on the show; I remember when a couple did lindy hop last year, the judges so did not pick up on a lot of the little technique problems that they would have for a more familiar genre like ballroom.

(Also, while I like Katee and cheer for her, my reaction was also, "What, how can you not know what Bollywood is?!")

Also also, while I am here, commentary on the African jazz piece very welcome!

I was sad to see Comfort go, but at the same time, I'm not sure that she was keeping up as well as she could have - and I'm not sure why that might have been. At times she hasn't seemed to be as confident as she needs to be, and I think that's shown in her dancing.

Actually, I haven't really been overwhelmed by many of the women this year other than Katee. I'm not sure why none of the others have really stood out for me. Maybe it's because I've been so very overwhelmed by Will and Twitch...

Yeah, both this year and last year I wasn't as overwhelmed by the women, though Katee and Sabra are made of win. I am so glad they didn't get rid of Katee in Vegas.

OMG Will is so awesome!!! I heart Twitch too, but I'm scared he won't make it long in the top ten if he gets a lot of ballroom routines. Though I think he is an audience favorite, so that will help. I love Mark too.
