Great job, hadn't seen Buckeye in a while but impressed to see how you're dancing as a team with a uniform style. I think what you guys could do is strengthen the style by dancing a bit bigger. For example, the way that jodi is done, you guys are making it clean as a team but it looks like...
Great performance and congrats on first guys. I thought you all should have had Windy City as well because you guys maintained a higher level of cleanliness and consistency through the routine along with this one. Really enjoyed the Bedi segment and the way the team is taught to lift legs and...
Congrats on the placing ASD!
Just some pointers, I think teams start to get creative before building dancers. You ladies need to make sure your dancers are up to speed when it comes to arms legs hands and most importantly stamina. It gets difficult to go ahead and execute a set well...
Congrats to JJD on a great first Live set as a team. There is a lot of potential here and it's nice to see that Cali has a younger generation that is up and coming in the scene.
Ricky, great job with set creation, although I do see a lot of VDW similarities in set creation and move execution I...
Will be posting detailed reviews for teams shortly, but the passion and charisma coming out of Australia is phenomenal, dancing is what needs to grow and I hope I can help with that. Keep up the great work to all of the teams down under, and don't lose that drive!
Innovation at a Bhangra regard, there's a clear difference between a CMU UVA and UNC, because identity is maintained. I'm saying y'all are creeping into having an identity for your independent teams, but your university teams cannot easily be identified as different from each other at a global...
I was going to say this on a JVD, GCC, or Ankile post but I think that the difference between the UK circuit and the US circuit is the passion. There is more collective passion throughout the United Kingdom, because everything is so new. Standardizing as a concept has been talked about in the US...
Congrats on first place at home guys and that too on your last set. It was nice to see you guys being to embrace it with family and friends.
Review of the set:
Mela/Intro: The mix and lighting all complemented along with choreography of black and red pagg. I felt like this was going to set...
FAUJ started competing 4 years ago in 2011. Our purpose was to represent Boston at bhangra competitions and leave our mark on the circuit. In the last 4 years, we've competed at 16 of the biggest competitions across the continent. Our memories of these competitions is not only limited to the...
Personal bias is present in judges who have been removed from the circuit for a few years as well. I think affiliations with a team directly is where the line should be drawn. I've been to a competition where two of the judges had previously danced on two of the competing teams at that. One was...
We would like to thank everyone who came out to support us at BBC this year - this performance was for all of you! And a special shoutout to Anisha for being an amazing liason.

Honestly a faster set doesn't necessarily make it more difficult. Don't get me wrong I like to dance at a higher BPM but if it means you're short cutting moves, chill out because you're dancers aren't at that level or they aren't well trained enough to execute with more speed. Speed adds...
I do disagree to a certain extent. Teams to me were "better", and the reason I say that is that they did what they did first. And didn't just follow the same scheme of fitting to the rubric. If a team like VCU can go to 8 different competitions and place second if not first at every one of those...
Congrats to the accomplishments of your team, and to sticking by what you loved to do for such a long time! Good luck with all of your future endeavors!
After watching this set, it's starting to remind me of old school RU. I really liked old school RU, a lot of newer dancers led by the vets in this performance showed a good balance of control and swag. The big things that I saw off from the routine were mostly just things like jumps, try not to...
We want to thank everyone who organized the competition. We had an amazing time. Special shout out to our liaison Jackie for helping out the entire weekend and also to Mo and Gurjaap and Karishma. Thanks to UConn and Princeton for the Paggs and Phumman, SMD for the cones, and FCB for the Saap...
I know this is late, better but better late than never. This was a great set guys/girls. I am glad I could be of assistance to all of y'all. It was amazing to see humble people dancing for the sake of Bhangra. There were mistakes here and there which is why I felt the set didn't place. Dancing...
