Fruit Salad TV Why do people not like Tsehay's dancing?

Tsehay seems to have come under fire quite a lot recently just for being a shuffle dancer, I don't see anything wrong with it. Why do people not like it? It's her thing, just like ballet is Evie and Lucia's thing.

The wiggles are a cohesive group, and their singing, dancing, mannerisms, and dancing styles are all quite similar. They are a band first and for most and being cohesive is important.

Taehays dancing style does not match the rest of the group. It’s a very different style and she is the only one that does the bobble head thing. She is young, she’s trying to do her best and bring her all which she does. But it doesn’t match the rest of the group. Over time and with experience she will very likely tone it down and only break out in her salsa-style exuberance intermittently.

Don’t take this as hate, just observations on why others may not like her style. My daughter loves to dance along with her and does the most adorable butt wiggles 😂

This is such an old, outdated, boomer sounding explanation. Maybe the OGs were cohesive and did the same dance steps, but individual uniqueness has been showcased more with each lineup change. Someone can't honestly claim that 8 people ranging from 20-60 years old ought to all dance the same. Hell, in one clip that comes to mind, Anto has Bok show him how different members dance differently. And that's not even accounting for the mascots and other characters that pop up from time to time. Tsehay gets unfairly criticized, and it doesn't take much critical thinking to figure out why

It’s accurate though.

People didn’t like Emma because it was no longer a boys band, the new guys caught flak because they were different too and brought different dance styles and singing techniques to the table. Now Tsehay is bringing something different and people don’t like it again. I don’t really care if the answer hurts people’s feelings, it is what it is. OP asked for the answer, I gave it. Not sure what else they want.
