Thought you guys really stepped it up and have made strides. Critiques are similar to what's been said-formations could have been better- i'm sure they might have looked diverse on paper, but from an audience/video perspective, they didn't look unique from one segment to the next. A lot of...

Agree with Howie and Sahil- consistent energy def will get rewarded by judges. I think invariably people will go "more HAM" in the front, but the point to consider is the level of dichotomy in energy of people in the front versus the back. There invariably will be one, and I think it adds hype...

Shoutout to you guys for always tryna push the limits/boundaries, and also shoutout for putting yourselves up on BTF and opening yourselves to every form of criticism/critique/troll etc-not a lot teams have the cajones to do that. Everything that needs to be said about production/concept has...

@sahab & @JesseMangat took the words out right of my mouth. Set was very clean, mad props on that Spacing looked a bit tight on stage and formations didn't hit, it seems like given the quick time frame between Tashan and Burgh, you guys might have had to keep formations simpler for the sake of...

I think we are on the same page-what I mean to say is that being a good judge and being an experienced dancer/or making a memorable set aren't always mutually inclusive and that, like you said, finding a balance is key. Experience dancing in the circuit/seeing performances certainly does make it...

Congrats on the first place, you guys have had a string of solid wins. One thing I hope you guys retain is your style- it stands out from other teams in the circuit and makes the performance more fun to watch. Most comments have already been said and most of mine are building off the ones above...

I think there's something to be said about the dichotomy between experience in the circuit and judging. Good judges obviously have experience, but more importantly (debatable), they have an ability to break down a set and communicate effectively to a team strengths and weaknesses. I personally...

Always love seeing you guys perform-mix was hype, ending gimmick was pretty cool. You guys had some nice variations and creativity in choreo Agree with the comments made above, especially with regards to formations. They could have been more complex, but I think most importantly, the formations...

Agreed with Hardeep that energy wavered a bit, esp towards the end. But these kids danced really well. Considering how crazy fast some of those segments were, I was impressed to see them stay on beat for the most part . Liked the pace change throughout the set-lots of ebbs and flows. The dholi...

Good set, you guys def took some risks in terms of formations. But the stagger formations (where some groups are doing some choreo and other groups are doing others) didn't hit often because the spacing between those separate groups was off-it made it look like people were just running around on...

Definitely a high quality set, I can't imagine how tough it must have been to judge this comp with the videos that have come out so far. For the most part clean formations, good energy. Good integration of formations with drops. I think this set would have done well at a bunch of NA comps for...

In terms of choreo and concepts, loved how this set brought folk execution and choreographic creativity together. In terms of the overall performance, the visual impact of formations I felt could have been better. Cleanliness among dancers I think could have been improved, but mad props on the...

I thought this set was a very well executed set, great energy, minimal dancer disparity and all around entertaining. Its hard to critique sets like this, but just for feedback/opinion, I put in some of my nit-picky thoughts as I watched the set. Chimta segment- The segment had a cool concept...

I'm going to preface my comments with the fact that on a lot of levels you guys look very good, especially as a collegiate team. Energy was pretty solid (def. waned at the end, esp with dhamaal legs), and you guys have gotten cleaner and cleaner throughout the year. The most important issue I...

Hey guys, just some quick thoughts watching the set. -Your set it pretty fast, as what seems to be the trend in the circuit, but just because it is a trend in the circuit doesn't mean it's a requirement, feel free to establish a more unique identity. -Some of your more inexperienced dancers...

Nice to have you guys back and competing! This set really impresses upon me the fact that so many sets have "filler moves"- those four counts/8 counts of "traditional moves" (crossovers, swings, etc)-and this set has nearly none of that. Almost every 8 count was choreo that I haven't really ever...

The pacing of this set was pretty fast and I was impressed at how you guys maintained solid energy throughout. Overall a very solid set and I can see why the Judge's gave you that pacing. Choreo was nice, liked the concepts you guys threw in there and drops Some critiques that I think would make...

Saw this set a couple of times and have some critiques for ya guys. -Totally agree with Howie, standardization was terrible for this set. It is clear that there are certain dancers that are more experienced than others and differences came out as your lower jodis got tired -Choreography had good...

Nice job ladies, really liked the innovation with the choreo, definitely set the performance apart. I thought the mix was a little bit of a deviation of your usual style-which was probably to get a much faster sounding mix-seems like a lot of the circuit is moving in this direction. One thing I...

I agree with @mithu -I don't think it would hurt to have that subforum. We have a simpler of version of that in the "History of Bhangra" pinned thread, which is a great resource that served both as historical and cultural context of bhangra. Maybe if that proved the basis for the new slight...
