Hey man, good work with the new team. After seeing you guys at Chicago Loves Bhangra this past weekend, it looks like you guys have some solid dancers. That being said, a few things I noticed were that vertical lines were off at certain times (1:59, 2:16, 3:20-3:25, 5:35, 5:47). The rule that my team uses when dealing with vertical lines is that the person in the front is always right (even if he is in the wrong position). Its much easier for a person in the back to adjust to a person in the front rather than vice-versa.
Also, as is usually the case with most new teams, you guys might want to think about securing a style, and having everyone match that style. I would suggest picking one dancer and making sure everyone does the moves exactly like him/her. Something like that, however, takes a lot of practice and while its understandable that it may be a bit more difficult to accomplish on larger teams, having everyone on the same page on how to execute the moves goes a long way.
In terms of choreography, I thought it was good that you guys kept it simple. You can def point out where your influences came from during certain parts, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The best way ive found to come up with choreo is to just play the mix and freestyle for a while. It really helps in just getting the feel for the music and realizing what moves come naturally to you at various points. Having everyone on the team do this gives you an idea of what comes naturally to all the dancers, and what steps people like and feel comfortable doing. In segments like jhumar, where fluidity between moves is particularly important, this type of exercise has helped me a lot.
Starting a team from scratch is never easy, but it definitely looks like you guys are heading in a good direction with what you've managed to do so far. PM/email me if you want any further critiques. Good luck!
