    This is definitely something that judges, especially newer ones, need to do. Going through each little part of a routine that was liked or not liked takes a ton of time, and potentially opens judges up for possible criticism if they remember something wrong. It’s also impossible to do so in the...

    Props to Bhangra Blowout for the additional awards, I think it’s always more interesting when competitions give recognition like that.

    Worst judging screw jobs in bhangra

    VCU @ BBC 2008 wasn’t a screw job, BBC favored modern bhangra a lot more back then and Empire was at the top of their game. VCU def got screwed over @ BBC 2009 though. Agree with Ankhile @ WBBC and NYPD @ Bell 2014.

    Nachdi Jawani Folk Loverz @ BBC 2018 (1st Place)

    Beautiful, another benchmark routine for the circuit. Dancer skill and execution was off the charts, this is what bhangra in 2018 should look like.

    Biggest struggle in bhangra and how you overcame it?

    Learn how to do other teams' choreo and try to pick up their style. Do that with a bunch of segments from various teams that you love, and pick and choose different styles you'd like to adopt for different moves. Then see how you can improve those moves and make a style of your own.

    FAUJ @ Bruin Bhangra 2018

    Couple of quick thoughts: A lot of your dancers seem to bend their backs and lean forward throughout the routine, especially during the shikke segment. Part of it is because you guys tucked your kainthey into your vests; not having that phuman at your back kinda exaggerates it, but imo you need...

    Nachdi Jawani Folk Loverz 2nd Place @ Motor City Bhangra 2018

    Also ditto to what SRK said about the kato segment. I've mentioned this a few times to teams while judging, putting in a kato segment in the middle of the routine doesn't mean anything unless you're doing something interesting with it, and this is a great example of a segment that was an...

    Nachdi Jawani Folk Loverz 2nd Place @ Motor City Bhangra 2018

    Great routine, I think I would've had this over Furteelay by just a hair on the basis of set difficulty and style. A lot of the set was thematically similar to what we've seen from NJ warriors in the past, but I love that stuff so w/e. I also didn't see the differences in execution that others...

    Furteelay Shokeen (First Place) @ Motor City Bhangra 2018

    Dope routine, had vibes of Shan e Punjab at Big Apple 2010

    Is the circuit reverting back to the 2010-2012 collegiate era?

    ☝I’m happy you’re posting again

    AEG @ Bhangra in the Burgh, Got Bhangra 2016, and Naach di Cleveland

    Congrats on the placings! I watched the Burgh video alone because that's the competition I'm more familiar with, having competed and judged there a number of times. I think the strengths of the routine are jhummar and the ending segment, choreography/hype were great there. I don't quite...

    Shaan Punjab Dee @ Bhangra Fe7er

    I'm so glad that some people still know what they're doing in this circuit. Amazing execution, amazing choreography, I would've given you full marks for both of those. The only thing that could elevate your performances even more is figuring out more innovative formations. The most interesting...

    West Coast Bhangra 2017: Reply from Virse De Shokeen

    I have several thoughts about this, and I'm also going to play devil's advocate here for a bit. I totally get the frustration that comes from working so hard on a routine, putting countless hours into training and set creation, just to receive less than adequate respect or recognition...

    Buckeye Bhangra @ Bhangra in the Burgh 10 & Aaj Ka Dhamaka

    First off, you guys really seem to like Skrillex, huh? The good: -Execution is for the most part really good, and choreo complexity is definitely there. -You do a great job of framing exciting moments, which is definitely important for getting the crowd and judges into your performance The...

    You guys have really good fundamentals, and it's nice to hear a mix that hasn't been overdone

    UVA Di Shaan 2015 - 2016 Season

    First off congrats on a successful year, I'm glad to see that the team is still alive and well! If there's something UVA's maintained over the past several years, it's a commitment to strong, folk choreography, and I'm proud to see that our legacy's continuing. Here are some critiques that I...

    Publishing Judges' Scoresheets

    You're applying objective scores to subjective criteria. It's not always perfect. I'm all for doing away with rubrics though, the necessity of 5 bullshit points to something like an Elite 8 gimmick was always lost on me.
