I was told that captains were informed in the pre-show meeting that points would be deducted for girls hitting their thighs. Is this true, and if so, which judge or judges said that?
Let me re-phrase the question that was asked at the judges meeting during the mixer and has been asked at previous comps as well. "Are there any moves that the judges didn't feel like girls shouldn't do?" I simply stated that I am strictly against Girls doing Thaapi on their Patts. Every judge has their reason as to why that is not appropriate. To make it clear, the point deduction was never mentioned in that conversation.
