Boogie Woogie India

As we know Boogie Woogie has completed its elimination rounds, they have selected their final 24 mummy’s to go further with their theme rounds. It sure must not have been easy to select 47 out of many thousands and then select the final 24 to compete for Mummy’s Championships.

Last episode, the judges informed, the first theme that the selected mummy’s will dance on is “Dance with your Favorite Partner”. Today let us try to analyze why the judges picked the theme of dancing with favorite partner as their first round and what conclusion or assumption we can come up with. Maybe it will help us to enjoy the dancing episode better.

I recently was reading an article by Richard Butler and he wrote that “the essence of dancing is to keep physically fit. However dancing is not about physical fitness only. It is great for relationship development.” I think that is a beautiful thought!  Now coming back to Boogie Woogie, since it is Mummy’s Championships, and Mummy’s become mummy’s after being married to their respective partners (at least this happens in India in majority), and so partner plays a very important role. Partnership plays a vital role whether it is a marriage partnership, business partnership or any other form of partnership. Though many know but some might wonder what is a partnership? If we have to define partnership then in one simple word it means “responsibility”. It is an agreement to share the responsibility of achieving a specific goal doesn’t matter what it might be but to do it together keeping the common interest on mind. The credit or blame cannot go to just one person but to both the partners and they stand equally responsible.

Boogie Woogie’s “Dancing with your favorite partner” in first round should keep one at their own comfort levels since they are allowed to pick their own partners. Everyone has a chemistry with a certain person and so when the art and chemistry work together with the understanding, it becomes a perfect pair. A pair not necessarily has to be a male or female in dancing. It can be anyone - it can be a marriage partner, mother daughter, two friends, or one can even dance with someone who they think will make a good dancing partner, it maybe a stranger or a known person but the outcome is expected to be synched, well coordinated and rhythmic performance that can win the judges heart. A partner round performance is expected to be narrated well. It shouldn’t be that the chosen song says one thing but the costumes and the way it is predicted narrates an entire different meaning. And so one must be clear with the meaning of the selected song. As we read earlier that partnership is also about relationship development and so dancing with a partner is the perfect way to develop a relationship between two dancers. It gives them a chance to open themselves and come more closer. Any uncomfortness between two dancers can cost the main dancer elimination. Also both the dancing partners must keep one thing in mind that it is not about individual performance that they are dancing but it is a pair dancing and so the focus must remain equal on both the dancers instead of one fighting for the lime light.  All the finer points must be kept well on mind with the aim to pass and enter into the next round and this effort should be realized by the dancing partner as he or she is coming to help the main dancer qualify with her talent and coordination.

It is yet to be seen if the points will be given to both the partners equally or just the main dancer. In my view, dancing with your favorite partner is still risky even though one is choosing their favorite person to dance with because any small or big mistake will still cost the main dancer an elimination. But then the comfort level and confidence that the partner will not ruin their performance can come to aid and make one feel less stressed.

As we set ourselves to enjoy this partner round, we also wish all mothers the very best for the results. May the best mummy win and may it also be one of the best time of their lives for all mummy’s!!
