Seconding--truck drivers help a lot. I would do them three times a day every day (or every time you go work out--it only takes a bit of time).
Beyond this, one thing I used to do was to practice at really high speeds (keeping full extension) and keep challenging myself to do more and more...
Hey everyone,
Below are Spartan Bhangra’s videos from this past semester! It’s really been an honor for us to meet and compete with so many other great teams. We’ve had an amazing time training our team of primarily first-time dancers, and have consistently received amazing critiques from...
Thanks to everyone who organized this competition for an amazing weekend! It’s always nice to get away from the sub-zero temperatures in Cleveland to go somewhere like Tampa. Congrats to Virsa, V Tech, and NEBC for their respective placings! This was our last competition of the year, and it was...
Hey,
Is anyone either selling algozey or know of a good place to buy them? I can't really find anywhere to purchase them that isn't in bulk haha. If anyone is selling them, I can either pay for shipping or pick them up anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, Cleveland/Chicago area, or San Diego/LA...
First off, I’d like to thank everyone involved in putting on ECD for a great weekend. Special thanks to the other teams for being great both on and off stage! We had an excellent time, and would love to come back next year.
Secondly, I’d like to offer a disclaimer for this review—this...

3. Spartan Bhangra
Thank you so...
Hey,
5.5ish feet khunde are good, and I would strongly suggest getting bamboo sticks from Home Depot. They have a lot of grip on them (surprisingly), and you can attach roomals/hooks to them to make them look more legit if necessary. In addition, they're extremely cheap ($3.50 per khunda) and...
Hey,
I'm from Spartan Bhangra at Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, OH). We are looking to purchase six new boys and girls vardiyan (any colors, as long as they match)--it's okay if the fumman and/or pattis for the pagha are missing, as we can make those. Please PM me or email me at...
Hey everyone! Below is our review for Nachde Nashville 2015. The weekend was a great experience for us—with how well it was organized, it was hard to believe that it was a first year comp. Most of this information I have relayed directly to the competition organizers as well, so I won’t go into...
This was our first time at MCB, and we absolutely loved it! Below is our review:
Prior to Arrival
We were accepted to the competition one week before the competition, so it was pretty hectic on my end getting everything together and going through the university bureaucracy. Gary was...
Hey everyone,
I apologize for the really late post! I just found this post in my drafts and it turns out I never posted it. Thanks to the PCS Organizers for an amazing weekend (11/7 through 11/9)!
Prior to Arrival
The liaison (Manpreet) and the organizers (Pardeep Deol and everyone else...
Spartan Bhangra would definitely be interested! We are thinking (very rough concept) of potentially dancing as a live time some time in the next two years. If not, we would love to come and support the competition :)
Hey everyone,
Please do not post a video of our performance from MCB 2015, as we are competing at two competitions coming up soon. We will post all videos at the start of May! If you have a video of the performance, please PM me or email me at rxt177@case.edu.
Thank you very much...
Hey everyone,
If you have a video of Spartan Bhangra at Nachde Nashville, please send it to me. We will post our video publically after Motor City Bhangra!
Thank you,
Raghav
Hey,
We had a lot of these similar problems haha. What ended up working for us was having each dancer take care of their own vardi/khunde/saap during practice time, and during competition season, we would transport vardiyan in separate garment bags (easy to get these for free from companies...
Hey everyone,
At competitions this Fall and last Spring, our team was told many times that we should get new paghs, new vardiyan, and possibly accessories (fumman, parandhis, etc.). Where do teams generally purchase this stuff, and are there any vendors you guys recommend/have experience with...
