    Reusing routines

    I've had this question for a long time and was wondering what you guys think: How often should teams reuse old routines? I've seen teams reuse routines year after year, and others that change choreo and songs every performance. Going along with this, do you think judges should take the fact that...

    Heeray Punjab Deh @ COS Giant Bhangra 08

    That was impressive - from start to finish. The color coordination was really exceptional and all your dancers looked strong and proud. I think the parts that wowed me the most were the spins; very well executed. This is definetly one of the best routines I've watched in a long time. The only...

    4 guys, 4 girls - Thoughts?

    I agree - With 4 and 4 it becomes extremely difficult to take up the stage and to keep audience attention for a 8 min routine or longer. Not only do formations have to be crisp, but dancers really have to have a sense of center stage with good form and energy. The only group I've recently...

    B2B @ Giant Bhanga 08 - Rehearsal

    Good job! Like Waleed said, for going 4 x 4 you were really able to keep my attention throughout the routine, and more importantly, you guys commanded the stage by using it all up. The only thing I really noticed was that the formations tend to put the girls in the back more than the guys; which...

    GOTHAM CITY, YOUR RANKINGS!

    A lot of bhangra teams could have taken this comp... BN: Started off with a bang, but by the end was dragging noticeably. You could tell 4 min into the routine that they were tired, as some were crouching lower than others. Clear error in song choice as well (same back beat with choreo changes...

    Importance of GTV

    GTV has done an amazing job over the past two years; especially with sticking to its purpose. You don't find any pop up ads or new links flashing at you, all you get is Bhangra vids and I wish more websites were out like it. The sit is really well organized and simple, and the creators have done...

    Boston Bhangra - Would you have gone on TV??

    I'm not even Punjabi, and as a regular Bhangra dancer I was shocked at how stereotypical BB looked. It would have been ok if they did a song - but all they did was hop around like Manjot said....blah....

    Competitions - What annoys teams the most?

    One thing I always couldn't stand was long winded Emcees that put tons of time between routines. A good comp has to flow well from one team to another

    16-member team debate. Pretty interesting...

    As a dancer on a typically 8-12 team, I know I've often times looked at teams with 16 dancers as overwhelming and hard to focus. However, it takes a lot of skill to pull off some things with more than 12 people on stage. For example, routines with jumps and crouching can be suicidal unless all...
