@lancelet22 my humble 2 cents worth... even though it has a lot classical steps, its done pretty lightly with grace and elegance. its not at all done heavily that intrudes the mellowness of the music. though i agree with you that perhaps at intervals, they could have injected some slower movements to suit the music rather than suit the beat.

Hey could anyone plz tell me the name of the song played in the background. Absolutely breath taking.

@lancelet22

well, there is a sampling and a continuity in the music, their dance is still rhythmic to the sampling, which is flawless, and in an Indian style. An Indian can enjoy it to the best. Music's composed by an Indian with the same sense though. So I can't agree with your statements.

I thought the same. But cann't stop loving this video. So made a little effort to remaster it.

I love it! Its finally something different. Keep on dancing this style :))

Errr, " So stop judging"?. It's on Youtube sweety.... You can't stop people from judging it cos when you post your items on the net, you invite the whole world to be your audience. Must I explain this further? You cannot alter someone's opinion or judgement by asking the person to ''stop judging''. Anyway.... Gdnight...

@lancelet22 Not everyone has excellent AV equipment to get 10/10 sound quality. Live with it. Anyway, as you can see this was an open-air school performance. So stop judging it like it's a paid concert in an auditorium.

I hear the FAINT drumset alright. But if you're going to post such videos in a public area for global view, then be at least decent enough to take comments. Are you familar with internet etiquettes sweety?

You can't do foxtrot to Chinese opera music or a thandavam to an ashtapathi music. You get it?

[Tuftaffety]

Who are you too say what steps go with what music?

And I don't know how great the audio is on your computer, but i hear a Drumset.

[lancelet22]

Lots of intricate classical steps but just too industriously executed to an otherwise mellow and almost beatless music.

It would have been better to have smoother , slower and more transient steps for this kind of mellifluous music.

And one more thing, the speed of the steps are too fast for the music. Too obvious to miss if you're classically trained.
