Dhamaal snaps are a variation of single dhamaal, bringing your legs back instead of forward. If you feel the stretch in your obliques, you know you are doing it correctly and maximizing the movement:

One of the oldest and most classical steps, General Bhangra (or just Bhangra) allows you to get big, wide, and powerful. Take a look:

Now that you have seen the foot movement of Single Dhamaal and Bedi, take a look at Punjab. This step combines the tapping of Bedi with the high knees of Dhamaal:

Yo BTF, we have now covered Single Dhamaal, Bedi, and Single Jhummar. This next step is all about "breaking it down" when the bass hits - introducing Chaal:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NHqGwanRmU&index=5&list=PLJWbEzNf2ZUSYm6-z6L3IEZzojvYbTqW0
We covered 2 basic steps in Single Dhamaal and Bedi. Now check out Single Jhummar, a very graceful step that requires utilizing the full Dhol beat to acheive mastery of the movement.

Last week we covered one of the key fundamental steps in Bhangra, Single Dhamaal. Now check out Bedi, a step that utilizes a tapping foot motion. Single Dhamaal (hop) and Bedi (tap) serve as fundamental leg movements for many Bhangra steps! Comment if you have any questions...

I thought I would open up my critiques to the entire Bhangra...

hey btf/organizers,
are there any upcoming junior competitions or melas that are looking for teams? for example, there was a small competition at a vaisakhi mela near richmond, va last year that allowed teams (young and old) to get up on stage and compete for a trophy - anything similar to that...
I had an issue with judging at BAB, and even if this makes me unpopular amongst the judges (3 of 4 who are my friends/acquintances), I need to call them out on what we feel is absolutely unacceptable feedback. At the mixer, two of the GJ captains were in the meeting with the judges. Based on the...
