    Launch: Union of Bhangra Judges (New Updates)

    I actually totally agree that when it comes to breaking the norms and spiking someone's creative process, alot of beauty emerges from chaos. Anyone who has read the biographies of eccentric geniuses with weird routines/habits or with crazy background stories/childhoods/etc can agree with that...

    Reaching Out to all **CURRENT** Dancers/Captains

    Hardeep - I think you are right to call out teams and again, you are right that you are doing the right thing by calling a team out for making mistakes that are disrespectful to the culture. I simply think you could do it (at times) in a nicer and more positive way, that's all. I feel like...

    Reaching Out to all **CURRENT** Dancers/Captains

    good post sahil - i think the judging is also a big reason alot of teams don't post videos. despite the fact that most people end up getting their hands on videos that people don't want posted anyway, i know some judges will inevitably end up comparing your current performance to your previous...

    Ministry of Bhangra @ Bhangra Down Under 2016 (First Place)

    you guys did an awesome job. i thought you stayed very clean, executed as a team, but brought alot of energy and enthusiasm as well. if i had a main critique, it would be like howie said, i think despite how good everyone's energy is, you all tend to dance a little more "narrow" - your posture...

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

    echo this - if judges could honestly answer 3-4 past performances theyve seen that they would place at that competition based on this rubric, i think it would help teams know what direction to move in

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

    Thanks to everyone for taking the time to comment on the videos. In retrospect, in an attempt to saturate the Bruin set with as many wow-moments as possible, I can see how certain things good have been presented better. Other issues such as cleanliness and standardization could have/should have...

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

    We were lucky enough to bring the Phoolz back together this season and bring out some sets that focused on one thing: entertainment. Our goal was to make the audience smile and dance with us, and I think you'll see that in our set creation. There are tons of credits due for KPGD's...

    CMU Bhangra 2015 - 2016 (All Performances + Mix)

    - set the benchmark for co-ed routines to come. even if you take the unique order of segments out of the equation, still the best i can remember. - glad to see a team outside of the few couple that currently do/did before who took some risks with their set creation - we will still be doing...

    Mount Rushmore of Bhangra Captains?

    Lavesh Pritmani - not only brought and instilled alot of knowledge about traditional/folk/yall know what i mean/etc bhangra to NC but the academy he started continues to flourish today and he runs a bhangra teaching app - not much more to say Raj Shah (UNC) - not many coed teams reached this...

    Who's here to claim the throne?

    I think SMD is probably the benchmark team for cleanliness and back to front execution - if a team can place over them, that means they either brought enough to the table to overcome the cleanliness gap and/or paid alot of attention to detail and were very clean as well. For a CoEd team...
