    qualifications for judging?

    A lot of good discussion about this topic and much needed as well. Comps need to do a better job of screening their judges as well as relaying judging/rubric information to teams timely. If you’re throwing a Bhangra competition, actually focus on the competition aspect. It’s not hard to reach...

    Creativity over Cleanliness - Feedback Wanted!

    can you post the old/current rubric? I personally think sync/cleanliness/execution tie directly into creativity/gimmicks/choreo/formations. Creativity needs to be executed cleanly in order for it to hit and make an impact on the judges imo (and I think that overall impact is what matters in...

    Nachdi Jawani Waris @ Bhangra in the 6ix 2018 (1st place)

    Dancing is at an insane level - love the intensity you guys bring, its so different from any other team. I especially liked the slow down/jugni segment that starts at 7:30, so saucy with the mix too. Another thing that makes this performance so fun to watch is the nakhra and confidence you...

    Ranjhe @ Harbour City Bhangra 2018 (3RD PLACE)

    This was dope! Great coming out performance and excited for what's next. I loved the mix, choreo was fresh and flowed Couple things I think could help you guys - synchronization and stamina based mainly. In the beginning you guys looked in sync but as people got tired I saw some missed moves...

    UVA @ Bhangra Blowout 2018

    This was pretty hot - I really enjoyed the slower khunda seg (mix was fire too) and khunda in general. Choreo flow has gotten much better as well as execution but I think dancers can improve on stage presence to match red and blue For me some quick things to work on would be trying to make the...

    This was super hot and choreo was fresh. Kept my attention from start to finish. Love the intensity- which is something I think a lot of collegiate teams lack and why I think you guys are the top right now. Couple minor things I think you guys could improve on: -Highlighting girls- felt like...

    UNC Bhangra Elite (2nd Place) - Bhangra Blowout 24 [Video + Mix]

    Just saw the vid for the first time and I second everything Nimit said above but also another thing that set you guys apart was how solid you guys were 1-16. Props to each dancer for not only doing a set that hard but doing it at such a high level!

    Kadar-Tankha Sample

    @srikarran good job for just starting man! I'm no DJ by any means lol, but I for thanka i felt like there were some instrumentals that didn't fit as well as some that fit nicely. I think thatll come with practice tho! Also, I think you could make the drops for both songs more dramatic. Best of...
