VIDEO - This is NOT DANCE REALITY, THIS IS SOFT PORN
Critics argue that these shows are drifting away from their core purpose of highlighting artistic dance forms and instead focusing on sensationalism to boost TRP (Television Rating Points). The inclusion of adult themes, risqué choreography, and over-the-top expressions in dance numbers is seen by some as catering to shock value rather than genuine talent. parents and cultural advocates have raised concerns that such content may negatively influence younger audiences, who are often part of the viewership.
Supporters of the shows, however, argue that dance is an evolving art form that can include various styles, and creative freedom should be respected. They also point out that the shows have disclaimers and guidance for mature content. This debate highlights the tension between maintaining cultural sensitivities and allowing artistic expression, raising questions about the role of television in shaping societal norms.
