Dope mix. Great set. I think the furteelay gimmick was a little weird since everyone left stage but great dancing. I think you guys could've had some better ideas for jugni and a few of your general segments. Saab murked it in the front but definitely people dogging it in the back. Choreo...
Want to start off by saying that this thread is going to be a huge circle jerk and rightfully so. This comp was, as usual, amazing. Best run comp I've ever been to other than Blowout last year. Gonna give the big breakdown now:
Mixer - It was pretty good. Good opportunity to meet other teams...
Solid responses. I think I can definitely take some stuff away from this. When we get new people I work pretty hard to try and teach basic steps but I've found that some significant time restrictions stop me from "bootcamping" for too long. But those are problems that everyone faces.
I have...
It isn't all that easy to introduce completely new people to bhangra. It isn't really like other dance types and it is many times hard to work out bad habits and other things with new dancers. Although I've sort of developed a small system as to how I teach new dancers, do any of you guys have...
Solid thread. I think aman brings up a decent point about judging deliberation. I think the concept makes sense if you had two judges. Then show order or whatever can skew someone's score and it is important to have a look back. Yet when comps have 5 or so judges, the law of averages should be...
This is by far the hardest part of leading any organization. Since you are leading it, inevitably you will be more invested than everyone else. Different methods appeal to different people but in the end you kind of need to be straighforward with people. If you don't practice you won't be good...
Honestly I felt uncertain about this competition since our first bit of email correspondence. There was hardly any marketing on BTF or on social media. After we received word we got in, I didn't hear anything about registration or anything after that unless I asked for it. I didn't know (and...
Probably the best video I've ever seen. I've spent a lot of time over the past year sifting through live India teams and I have to say that the choreo creativity I saw is unmatched anywhere. I don't think I've ever seen people do half the things you guys did. I've been a huge fan of you guys...
Re: Alamo City Bhangra @ MCB 2016
Guys were so much better in this video than at Burgh! Great performance and congrats on second! Always great to see some coed teams place haha
You guys have gotten way better oh my god. I remember when you guys were Motor City Bhangra Team (at least I think you guys are the same people lol) back in the day and this performance really shows how far you've come. Mix was really good and you guys have good dancers. Don't like to call...
Really missed you guys out there as I'm sure you would've brought entertainment that only you know how! I hope that your dancers are all well. It is great that you guys put the safety of your dancers first and I hope to see you all down the road
A pretty well run competition overall! I don't have much to add to Howie's post other than to reiterate that tech time was run pretty poorly by the technical crew. I think most teams had a big issue with the sound systems and I would really hope that next time people play the music loudly and...
No predictions since we are competing but I hope CMU goes 16. Always cool to see a 16 collegiate/coed set. Also interested in seeing the next generation of Cornell Bhangra.
I appreciate the Buckeye Bhangra love and I totally didn't pay Sundeepti to say that ;) . Not even close to being mentioned in the same thread as these other captains and my official title is "choreographer" anyway so idk if I even qualify :P
Great set in terms of set creation. I think the kato seg you guys do has become a staple of your routine. I like it but I can't help but feel like the choreo hasn't changed dramatically over the past year and it would be cool if you guys redid the segment and showcased some more creativity since...
