Trends that should go:
-Choreo hits that rely solely on shimmies, body rolls, or excessive modhey. Many teams' choreo started to blur together.
-So High
-Gun gimmicks
-A couple dancers doing a tabletop-style, ultra-low chaal while everyone else chills
-Pausing the mix before a drop.
Trends that should happen:
-More females posting their opinions on BTF
-Lesser known collegiate teams bringing the heat
-Designing every set element with purpose
-More teams establishing unique identities
Where the circuit will probably go:
-Decrease in competition diversity and quality
-Choreo blocking, increased move diversity
-Better form and stamina
-Throwing in set elements without purpose
-Teams following other teams' success models, rather than establishing their own unique identities
