SF Chronicle dance critic Rachel Howard knows her world dance:

Bollywood style, however, suits Joshua’s hip-hop skills surprisingly well. Those jumps into deep knee-splayed bends, by the way, derive mostly from the South Indian classical dance form of Bharatanatyam (as does the custom of wearing bells on the ankles). Neither Katee nor Joshua pull off the knee-turns (not fast enough), and Nigel tosses in facile “It’s a Small World” political statements, but the style is a terrific addition to the show, and Katee and Joshua do an admirable job in it.

More on K&J from Pond Culture:

Joshua and Katee, the Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan of the proceedings, took on an Indian routine that put Mike Myers and artists of even greater pretension to shame.
