@angeblah you made a crazy cool set that is definitely one of my favorites to watch because it is so unlike performances I've seen in the past few years. Loved the concept of teaching dancers and the whole mentee thing and having 32 was a sight to behold. I think you made a set that really...
I'm assuming you have, but have you thought about using the ELO ranking system? Might combat the obvious bias that'll pop up when it comes to 'ranking' different comps
I think the main reversion is the competitiveness of the collegiate circuit. However with OSU's death I'm curious what collegiate teams are gonna fill the void and be on the come up this year
I don't give a damn if my judge knows what folk Bhangra is. Who the hell knows what folk Bhangra is anyways. Your folk Bhangra is not your paaji from the pind's folk bhangra which is not ustaad ji's folk bhangra which is also not Janet from accounting's folk Bhangra. I just want a judge that can...
Not sure if you keep up with the classical circuit (I'm also not trying to invalidate your entire point by finding one tiny flaw in your example) but this is something the Classical circuit has been dealing with lately. There has been a deviation from the strictly religious themes and many teams...
Also to press you both (not trying to be an asshole, I'm genuinely curious) @naishp95 what felt too similar? I mean can you point to segments or choreo or formations that felt the same? This is a critique we've gotten a lot in the past year or two and we've been trying to do new things but we...
@Howie Magz @naishp95 can I press you both on how you both define "WOW" factors? Tbh I don't know what people mean when they say that anymore. Are you talking gimmicks, choreo variations, etc?
I'd also disagree with that because what if you're a new person and you don't really post often but wanted to make an account and look around. And then one day someone makes a post in main discussion that you really want to respond to but cant' because you haven't met the minimum. Yes trolls are...
Re: UNC Bhangra Elite @ BIBX
First of all holy shit this set overall was sooooooooooo hotttttt. God damnnn. Y’all murdered this set. I’m just gonna point out anything I saw. Timestamps are from the balcony view.
Saaps
Love that opening verse in the mix haha. Those first line movements guy...
First off really solid performance. Glad that you guys finally took home the gold way to go. Nonetheless y’all have some work to do. Nimit I really love your creativity when it comes to some of the interesting variations you put in your set, but I’m glad that in comparison to last year you’ve...

First and foremost I don't really enjoy having this conversation repeated over and over again. The circuit is a living breathing thing...
One point that was brought up a lot during the "fire missing from the circuit" thread was that many teams (collegiate in particular) stick to cookie cutter sets. And I do agree with that sentiment. But I think that many teams either don't realize they are doing so or do not really know how to...
Sorry but there is no difference between college students today than there were three years ago. There wasn't some monumental social shift between us and your generation. We can deal with failure just fine, just not when everything we do goes to waste due to a lack of leadership.
Dancers...
