fun performance to watch
lacked energy at times though and needs to be in sync at times as well
i didnt feeel any WOW-ness like when i do when i see other co-ed teams (vcu, empire, drp...)
pretty good need to clean it up more !

Shoutouts to Gaurav, Hinal and Vinisha! You guys killed it! (And you too Abhi!)

A clean performance and definitely a more traditional Boston Bhangra performance than in the past. Nonetheless, a bit too gimmicky (khundey spins were overdone to the point where they lost their appeal) and too much focus on the theme - felt like a raas performance at times. Definitely some good dancers and some of the formations were definitely creative! I think it would have been much better and more entertaining if there was no Dushmani theme at all and just straight-up dancing.

get rid of the gimmicks guys that was to much..some of the girls were good and 3 of the guys as well...one of the guys in green(not abhi) needs to work on energy i watched this performance live and he kinda lacked energy but over all i personally think you guys couldve done way better if you had more practice and less gimmicks mela was the only thing that gave me a wow factor and the khunda spins are just played out now

can someone explain to me what was going on with those 2 guys that kept coming in half way??? and what that was all about?

thanks

I can see you guys are trying to make the transition to traditional bhangra. This was pretty much dead center between modern and traditional which could be a great thing if you incorporate the best parts from both styles. I feel like you guys may have rushed into this traditional thing a little too quick. Its not an easy transition for all teams but you guys made a good attempt. Honestly your modern style was working better for you in the sense that this was not as Clean as you usually are.

Other than that I'm glad to see you try the Traditional aspect of Bhangra. It will make you better overall dancers in the long run. You should maybe try having a traditional segment where you play some Old school songs and then go back to your strong points (modern).

But good effort and keep it up guys.

Pretty sick

Whats the hip hop song in the mela song and the shikka segment?

Kanvar · « **Reply #9 on:** October 05, 2009, 06:39:44 PM »

wtf with the dushmani?

and not sure how anyone can confuse phumanian and mirza as i think a mirza beat is very distinguishable from a chaal.

also not really a fan of the outfits.

Bostonnnnnn...u guys are sick...big HIII to Abhi, Gaurav, Kapil, Komal, and Chris!!! see u soon!!!!

smalhi · « **Reply #11 on:** October 05, 2009, 11:42:37 PM »

the girls did wayyy too many different things during the mela
and it would have been better w/o the theme
but it was good overall =)

The performance was pretty fun to watch, engery was pretty stable for most of it. I wasnt really feeling the vardiyaan, maybe it would have looked better with white kurtay. Just a couple of things, try not to have those pauses were the dancers stop dancing, its takes away from the whole performance and i know for a fact judges don't like that either. Also I know for a couple of past comps, alot of teams got shat on by the judges cause dancers would come in and out of the set, all dancers have to stay on the stage..they cant keep going in and out. Regardless, still a good performance just a few things to work on. Best of luck in future comps!

They did mirza and I think they decided to do phumania on the same beat right after....i dont think they confused it.

na man...in tht whole segment of mirza... only 1 step wz actual mirza... the step they start of with... is fumnia on mirza's beat... mirza ch ik latt chakki di aa... they do it fumnia style... and they end the whole segment with fumnia steps too... plus this is isnt the dhol beat to do fumnia on.... if they were trying somethin new... like doing fumnia on mirzas beat... then i dunno... but the reason i brought up to d point wz cuz they did special intro for presenting PUNJABI LOk NAACH MIRZA...
