Personally im not a fan of the style of bhangra that most UK teams, however you definatly have a style that emulates north american teams which in my opionon is the most entertaining.

A couple of suggestions i want to make while i watched your preformance.

- the first thing i noticed was alot of random sound effects in your mix. I know "hoi's" and "check this out" or "im ill" can emphasize parts of your dance but when their randomly thrown in it just makes it seem off.
 
- Staying with your mix i felt like your transitions were at awkward parts of a song, instead of flowing it seemed very choppy to me. Also the song speeds and style of bhangra you guys went into from song was a little random. That just might be me though haha.

- From what i was watching this seemed like a pretty standard hall preformance, but the routine you guys brought was something you'd see at a competition. I think it would be better for your team to shorten your hall preformances to 7-8 minutes instead of 11 which i think is WAY to long. I also don't think you need to add a mela scene, or a gimmick like the kabaddi scene in the preformance thats on a much smaller scale then competitions are.

- The reason i say all this is the whole point of hall preformances is to provide entertainment and you cant deliver the best energy and excitment if dancers are dragging there feet or not extending there arms near the end of the preformance. Particulary the guy in the red was going through the motions standing. An 11 minute set is something meant for sets with 8-12 dancers, having such a long preformance with 6 guys makes the emphasis so much more on you individually where lack of energy is more evident then usaul.

- On a positive note though, the formations were good. Nakhra  and facial expressions in my opinon was very good considering I don't see much of that over there. The fits are nice as well, although orginally i thought the colours were two blues, two reds, and then one green and one yellow. Good energy to start as well


Overall a job well done, up is the only way to go from here for you guys. Goodluck
