    Best team mixes?

    A lot of people like Klasikhz, he's not in the game anymore, but he's got some solid remixes and team mixes on his website! http://klasikhzmusic.com/portfolio/

    Who's going to start new initiatives??

    @Saleem - I'm not much of a coder, but I wanted to know if there was a way to have a centralized resource that rated DJs/Prop places/Competitions. Kind of like a Yelp-TripAdvisor thing where people can put in the type of experience they had. A lot of new teams I feel like often repeat the...

    Make judging great - some low hanging fruit

    I like a lot of the points you brought up, and one thing that makes it easier for me to judge is when I am watching a team, I like to actually divide it by segments and judge individual segments on components of the rubric. Its certainly not perfect as some rubric components are definitely...

    MOB Chicago @ Bhangra in the 6ix & Bhangra in the Burgh X

    Hey-just my two cents: Loved the very beginning, it was folk, it was well executed and I thought it was hype. I think you guys might have been better served if it was followed by a more energetic mela. The mela ended up scaling back the hype and energy you guys brought in those first 8-12 beats...

    Soormay @ Bhangra In The 6ix (2nd Place)

    Re: Soormay @ Bhangra In The 6ix Crazy performance. I am not sure how you guys kept up that pace for as long as you did. Like Nimit said, individual dancing def did take it away. I personally would have liked to see some more pace change, felt monotone in some ways-i think slower segments would...

    Judging FAQs - What are the questions you ask or hear in every judges meeting?

    Love a lot of the suggestions regarding what to ask judges, but I think one of the big problems with some of these questions is that judges will often avoid giving a concrete answer as it paints them into a corner. Ex. clean vs. creativity? Questions like that are so dependent on the actual set...

    Da Real Punjabiz (DRP) 2015-2016 Season

    Watched this set a couple of times-I gotta commend the captains for pulling the team together at Bruin-the set was extremely cleaned up and tweaked to present the best version of itself-energy was high throughout. I could go into all the things I loved about the set, but I would end up...

    [GTV + Mix]The Michigan Bhangra Team: Winter 2016 (Blowout, Nashville, Buckeye)

    Hey guys- just saw the blowout set Definitely agree on the chaadars-but looks like you guys know whats up and will have that fixed for next time. Pros: -Energy looked solid (at least in about half, i think i saw some people dogging it in the back) -Form was pretty consistent across dancers...

    Khirre Phul Gulab De @ Boston Bhangra 2015 [1st Place] and Bruin Bhangra 2016

    I was about halfway through my review when I saw Sue's post, and it pretty much encapsulates my thoughts. I really enjoyed the way your dancers took the stage-they had fun clearly and all seem to be fairly strong dancers. However, as Sue alluded to, formations didn't always hit, dancers weren't...

    (GTV+Mix) Bhangra All Stars Sydney (BASS) @ Bruin Bhangra XVIII 2016 - THIRD PLACE

    You guys did a great job with this performance and I agree with just about everything Sid said. You guys have improved tremendously since the first performance I have seen and the complexity of certain segments with regards to set design was nice-I see some Toronto influence and you guys pull it...

    Cal Bhangra @ CSUN 2016

    Hey, Performance is a bit cleaner than the last time I saw you guys. I think you guys have some cool concepts working for you. One that is refreshing is having guys and girls almost dance as separate units, its been done before by other Co-Ed teams, but its still adds a refreshing spin. You...

    Publishing Judges' Scoresheets

    ^While I am leaning towards agreeing, its hard to say when not a lot of the videos have been put up yet.

    Publishing Judges' Scoresheets

    This might be a subtle point, but in judging, one of my problems is the time between performances. What makes judging even harder, on top of all of the different things you are looking for is the time to write down thoughts between performances. While you can certainly write things down during...

    Publishing Judges' Scoresheets

    I'm not sure if this has been said in the past, but I think as a community we could all benefit from publishing the judging scores/comments for the following reasons: 1. Transparency. We might not always agree with the placings of varying competitions because judging has an inherent subjective...

    Worst Thing you've seen from a Bhangra Team?

    At least they had heart- @Hardeep-did the team want you to share this video? I feel like there might be a reason it hasn't been posted before

    Dancing in CT

    Hey, Just wanted to shoot out a post to see if there is any interest for a independent team here in CT. There is HB and Yale Jashan as collegiate teams, but not really much of an independent team present. If there are any ex-collegiate dancers in the CT area or even the New England corridor...

    SHAAN PUNJAB DEE @ MCB 2016 (FIRST PLACE LIVE CATEGORY)

    I had to play this video a coupe of times to find some dancer slacking, or some inequity in execution-but I just couldn't find anything wrong. Energy was high all the way throughout-formations were clean-standardization was near perfect. Like people before said, shoulder bounce was just...
