haha looks like a Thai school talent show?
But, there are a few of us in the US circuit, like myself, who are from or have lots of family in Thailand and I can tell you that the bhangra scene there is no where near as advanced as we are here...
I loved this set and the mix! I thought you guys were enjoying yourselves quite a bit on stage and it translated well into the audience. I went WILD during chittiyan...
To echo- I love that the names were stitched onto the vardi...and the saggi phull for the girls was clutch!
I'll be there repping all the buddhe-log.
If anyone needs info regarding Philly, in general, I'd be glad to help (lived there for 2 years and was a Bell liaison last year).
See y'all thurr
Hey all,
Below you'll find the link to our first performance at Bhangra in the Heights 7 this past weekend. Apologies for the shakiness of the video! Tried my best to stabilize it.
Notes: This team is founded on the premise of simply having fun on stage, entertaining our audience and this...
I think it's better to keep the audience's reaction, particularly the cheering, out of the rubric. How is a judge to know if the audience is biased? Any team can easily plant supporters next to a judge and have them scream their heads off.
Regarding the intangible stuff like "connection" and...
Hi!
Just a quick thank you to Columbia Bhangra for putting on another successful show! It finally felt like the NYC area dancers were getting to know each other well and it felt good to have this event to foster that sort of community building. Was hoping NYU and AEG could have joined us in...
I've just starched our paggan (scrunchy-type cotton with gold strands) with Sta-Flo once. I think they'll hold up fine as-is right now, but I'd prefer them to be a little stiffer. From the convo above, hairspray is the trick. A few questions:
- Which hairspray/what type do you buy?
- How many...
I'm trying not to be biased (but perhaps I totally am) when I say that BHeights is always a good time. For $10 you get a show with awesome teams AND afterparty in ONE spot.
Come support your tri-state area dancers!
First, I do have to applaud JusReign for having the guts to take time and actively address us h8rs in a graceful manner. You've got to admit, that kind of thing always takes guts.
Very, very interesting post! Hopefully I understood it correctly...I, for one, definitely use bhangra (music...
Hi all,
Nikhil and Nirali (captains) kindly ask you to not post performance vids. Rather, please PM "nkrishnan".
Good luck to all dancers this and next weekend!
Thanks!
Hmmm...this thread really did do a 180 last night, eh? hahaha
Interesting viewpoints above. I agree that a little competition/rivalry allows for more originality in sets. BUT...I can speak for myself and a few others when I say the "drama" aforementioned is one of the main reasons why I don't...
