Re: **Dub City Bhangra (Boys) West Coast Bhangra 2016**
Hey!
Love to see Dub City really establishing itself as a team and going to comps!
One thing I have to say right off the bat before I give any critiques is that I have to commend the fact that you guys took some really interesting risks...
A lot of the pertinent comments have already been stated. The ideas are there in terms of choreography-execution isn't. Your dancers either don't have the stamina nor the stage presence to really sell the moves. In my opinion choreography is 40% choreography 60% execution-improving stamina and...
I am going to try not to repeat too many things that have already been said.
I think this performance was one of the cleanest since Burgh 2013. Except for teal jodi falling during khunde there were few mistakes. But like many people said, kato segment looked almost exactly the same, khunde...
In watching this set, cleanliness was the biggest factor. I can see that segment design is going in the right direction, you are aiming to make each segment memorable and build up your drops appropriately. But choreo and formation changes sometimes seem too fast for your dancers. Moves are not...
Enjoyed the boli. Overall I think you guys are thinking about the right things in terms of making a set ut I think to get to a higher level there is some work to do.
-There is a noticeable dancer disparity in both energy and execution/form
-In terms of overall form, I think your choreo will...
Lol yes, it was a ridiculous price, so we didn't take it-just thought I'd give an upper limit.
Thank you for the Taco Bell conversion-if I were a DJ that would probably be my main form of payment-Taco Bell
NSG always has a way of bringing together some of the best dancers on the West Coast and its great seeing them rip it. That being said, it seemed evident that there were some newer dancers, that didn't have the same level of control and stage presence. I felt like I also saw a lot chaffa and...
Its been awhile since somebody put up a solid live performance from Punjab-really enjoyed this performance and these guys had some killer execution. Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I did

I think thats a faulty argument-half the time views don't even pile up on videos and secondly-you're telling people that getting feedback-which can make them better-is dependent on them being already good/entertaining/interesting. The biggest problem I see with new teams is that their concept of...
Quick shoutout-Jason's an awesome DJ and was super responsive. He came back with edits and tweaks even on the day of a comp-hes the bomb.com-so if you're looking for a new DJ-check him out!
Hey Ampal + all the Alamo City Crew!
I thought I'd shoot out some feedback regarding the set:
-It was overall pretty clean-it got messy in the prop segments and in the beginning when the pace of segments was faster-some small angles and standardization was off in areas
-I liked the line at...
I think the general point he is trying to make is that if you're a newer or even more experienced dancer that has been watching sets and learning bhangra, when choreographing, often your first 3 moves are going to be just about the same 3 moves almost everyone thinks of-and at that given moment...
Hey,
In watching this I agree pretty much with all the feedback given. Choreo was a bit too fast at times for proper execution by some dancers. The actual choreo itself was definitely unique to Rutgers style. In terms of growth, or something you guys could do to stand out more at the next comp...
Hey homies!
I see a couple of new faces since the last time I saw you guys on stage.
Here are just some general thoughts I had while watching the set
-Energy lagged a lot between dancers in the front and the back-in a stage like Burgh's, I feel like its awfully easy to see people taking breaks...
lol two quick clarifications- I graduated-so I'm not captain of HB-don't want people thinking I'm speaking for the team right now. Secondly-I do post and I do comment-what I meant by that qualification is that I don't post as much as some other people do on BTF-mainly because-yeah-I wonder if...
I don't think its about BTF choreoing your set-but I think communal feedback can help bridge the gap between smaller collegiate teams and independent teams. I also think that there are times when collegiate teams take risks-not huge risks-but they do take risks and i think positive feedback of...
^I agree with just about everything that was said here. You don't have to go much farther than BIB to see how teams like Alamo City, MOB, Buckeye, Spartan have practically no comments-whereas a team like First Class-much more "well-known" and successful- gets such constructive feedback and...
