Waack Girls

So great and different from all the nonsensical content coming out. What an enjoyable and refreshing watch! Loved it and cannot wait for season 2!

The cinematography, direction and dancing were incredible. The dancers are not just technically skilled but also incredibly expressive, making every routine a powerful statement. The show balances fierce competition with personal storytelling, allowing viewers to connect with the artists beyond their performances. The production quality is top-notch, with vibrant cinematography that truly enhances the visual spectacle of waacking.

Sooni Taraporevala you are a genius!

From the word go, Waack Girls keeps you totally involved. The story line is unique and somewhat daring, a good mix characters, all well fleshed out, the casting great with a slew of new names and great performances. Not to mention the super production values, locations in Calcutta (all very realistic) and great soundtrack. It was a pleasure to watch, as waacking was new to me!

Waack Girls captures well the difficulties youngsters face in today's world - both on the personal/ family front and in making a breakthrough in an offbeat career.

Kudos to the entire team. I really can't wait for season 2!

Loved this show.

The casting is so good.

And of course the Waacking! I didn't even know something like this existed.

Michke does such a great job of being completely comfortable in her body, such a positive role model.

Apart from the performances of the girls, I liked that the main character's boyfriend - though an amazing dancer himself (Yeh Ballet) is so low key here. One hardly knows that he too can dance.

The girls from different backgrounds, with their own sets of problems find common ground in dance... I'm sure the story will encourage other youngsters to follow their own paths, however unorthodox.

Can't wait for the next season!

The Waack Girls are simply amazing! Watching them perform is an absolute treat-they're full of energy, creativity, and pure passion for dance. Their moves aren't just technically perfect; they tell a story that pulls you in and keeps you hooked till the very end.

What really stands out is how beautifully they express emotions through their dance. You can feel the dedication and hard work in every step they take. The way they move together, so perfectly in sync, shows the bond and chemistry they share as a group.

Whether you're into waacking or just love watching great performances, these girls will blow you away. They're inspiring, stylish, and completely unforgettable. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a performance that truly stands out.

I deeply appreciate this series for its genuine respect for dance as an art form. If you're a fan of compelling drama or captivating dance, and especially if you enjoyed Taraporevala's last film, Yeh Ballet, you'll definitely love this series too.

Mekhola Bose-the lead actress and an accomplished professional Waack dancer-absolutely shines in her role as Ishani, the heroine. Having performed internationally for over a decade, Mekhola previously appeared in "Yeh Ballet" in a supporting role. But in "Waack Girls", she truly takes center stage. Casting a trained dancer like Mekhola, rather than an actor who can dance, gives the character an added layer of authenticity.

Her stage presence is magnetic-she commands the dance floor with both power and grace. Yet, it's her moments of vulnerability and her radiant smile that truly steal the show.
