    Bhangra in Thailand by the Thai students

    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...

    Josh Valaithian Da @ Worlds Best Bhangra Crew 2014 (GTVHD)

    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!

    NY Bhangra Clique at Bhangra in the Heights 7

    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...

    Audience/fans influencing judges

    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...

    Bhangra in the Heights 7

    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...

    How to Sta Flo a Turla!!

    Awesome! Thanks for this, Hardeep! Hopefully I can find this brand at Duane Reade. If not, any other brands you can think of that might work?

    How to Sta Flo a Turla!!

    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...

    Bhangra in the Heights 7

    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!

    Please stop bringing Jus Reign to comps

    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!

    Bhangra competition graveyard

    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...
