Gonna piggyback off of Eric here because he hit all the major points. Overall, Blowout was extremely well-organized (as always), and it was evident that every detail was thought out as much as possible prior to comp weekend. S/O to the entire board, and our liaisons Akshay and Shivani, for...

What's up BTF! Below are our videos from Buckeye Mela X! Huge huge shoutout to Mithin for recording these, and more importantly for supporting and progressing the initiative to get teams to release their videos immediately! Really suggest everyone read his post on the DDN Facebook group and I...

@Howie Magz you didn't tag me bro

So I finally had the chance to sit down and think about all this "Nationals" talk. While I do agree with Ram that certain regions in the US are missing competitions, I do also agree with the fact that there are enough large competitions out there right now to convert into bid competitions. Also...

Going off of Ram's/Naishal's posts, here is kind of a timeline for how I think competitions should handle judging that I feel incorporates a lot of the ideas shared in this thread: Judging Application: - As soon as a competition knows that it is for sure happening, they need to decide a style...

+1 this sample is amazing, but would love to hear this mixed in with a song

From what I have understood through feedback and trial and error, I think its completely okay to reuse old songs but you just have to do it better than any team has done it in the past. I.e. don't let the judges pull a Kanye and say "You did 'Tere Tille Ton' well, but X team/performance had the...

Also would like to return to this, cause I feel like it kind of got overlooked. I agree with what you're saying, and I do understand all the complications of deliberation but here's my question: if I as a dancer don't allude to the rubric as if it has all the answers and is a "magic 8 ball" as...

So then kind of as a follow up to what you and Hardeep are saying, what's considered appropriate/inappropriate or offensive? Cause the majority of songs I've heard have at least some references to guns, violence, drugs, alcohol, etc. Like is this stuff considered offensive or is it more of the...

I agree with all this, but the point I'm trying to make is that you have to be mindful of the fact that a large amount of the circuit is now non-Punjabi and most don't have the understanding of the culture that you do. Saying that we don't represent the Punjabi culture by dancing Bhangra but not...

After watching you guys at AKD I was completely blown away. You all did an amazing job taking the critiques from last year and putting them to use. Set flow was on point, and the stuff in your set that hit really hit hard. Also mix was 10 different levels of fire, so sick job HsD and Baaj! One...

I can agree with this. Also coming from teams with no true, as you said Ustaadji, I often find that the best critiques come from judges, BTF, and friends that you send it to. The big thing that I have found from repeat judges is that they are picked solely off of experience, and I'm trying to...

I definitely agree with the first paragraph here, we need better critiques on sets. honestly right now, we just need something. don't need to be long posts, but one or two things from 10-15 people can go a very long way. what I don't necessarily agree with here is the second paragraph. i...

agree with sid here. my main reason for posting this wasn't to change the rubrics that each comp posts, that is 100% their decision and should reflect whatever style of bhangra they are trying to host. rather change up the judges from comp to comp. and most importantly, choose judges that will...

In light of the “What happened to the circuit?” thread and Howie bringing back his thread from last year, I want to reach out to all the CURRENT dancers and captains in the circuit and hear what people currently competing have to say about the way things are run. Looking at these couple of...

Definitely my favorite thread every year, thank you for starting this again Romy! Questions: 1. Which routine was your favourite? Live: SPD Motor City. No explanation necessary. Music: NJ Burgh 2015. The set was on par with some of the best sets of the year, but the execution of this routine...

Going off of the Hilltop video...dayyyum! The execution of your set was unbelievable! Definitely agree that this was the best I've seen you guys perform over the past few years. I'll PM more in-depth suggestions/critiques, but just a couple things to start off with: 1) The set. I think y'all...

you know we love you all <3<3<3 except that howie kid

This is some really helpful feedback, thanks!! #FF

Hey BTF! Here are our videos from the 2015-2016 season. UNC Bhangra Elite had an exciting year, placing first at ATL Tamasha and Temple Tashan, and performing at Nachde Nashville and Bhangra Blowout! We would like to thank our entire team for putting in endless hours to make our set and...
