    BB26 Results/Feedback

    @Jahordon I feel like rubrics should just be published by committee's when they create the review thread. Although I will say that it is not ideal to have alumni judge their previous team. Idk how long judges danced with other teams, but @UmerQureshi96 mentioned in the other thread that he...

    BB26 Results/Feedback

    Honestly I feel like all comps should release rubrics and judges feedback, it just makes things more transparent. I understand it opens up judges to criticism, but at least it allows others to form their own opinions. Also future committee's can use the feedback to pick judges they feel are...

    Professional teams leveraging collegiate resources (and vice versa)

    There are spaces like Blowout and Nashville for purely collegiate lineups, where they require you to send in photocopies of ID's, although honestly I don't know how stringently this is enforced (I'm pretty sure with an old college ID alumni could perform with previous collegiate teams). Most...

    Blowout

    Congrats to all the teams that placed!! I didn't get to see CMU go on stage, so I was a little surprised when UNC didn't place, but I'm looking forward to seeing all the videos in beautiful 4k. Anyone who saw all the performances have any thoughts? Thanks as always to @Gabroo Tv for filming and...

    Bhangre De Shokeen - BBC 2017 and Tashan 2017

    Most importantly: To take it to the next level I think your team needs to try incorporating some riskier/complex choreo options. Your set feels very safe, well executed, but that means you can try more complicated things so it hits that much harder From the BBC video balcony 1. That intro...

    VSB | Waris @ BBC 2017

    Amazing set, absolutely loved it. All you have to do is take some time and clean those formations and try and close the gap between your top dancers and your bottom few. Totally agree with sahab that some people are putting in way more than others on those big moments and its very noticeable

    Sherniyan Di Sarkari @ Tashan 2017

    Most importantly: People need to get more on the balls of their feet when they are dancing, some people look very flat footed. Work on dancers stamina it was really lacking at the end. 1. More "clicks" or whatever you call actually playing the shikke, it felt like a lot of filler claps slash...

    Cornell Bhangra @ Tashan 2017!

    Glad to see you guys back it! Everything said above is spot on and super important. Strong fundamentals (extension with arms and lifting your legs higher), modhe, and more consistent energy throughout would have made this a very competitive set. You guys definitely could have spent more time...
