Comments before results: a very well organized competition. All the teams were marvelous. Many would expect VCU to win due to previous statistics, but I think the competition is too great, and its very hard to choose. I personally cannot choose any places. My top four (4) teams are: Drexel, VCU, UVA di Shaan, and Cornell. Good luck to all teams.
----------------------------
Results:
1. VCU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2. UVA di Shaan Bhangra
3. Drexel

Other Results:
2010 Viewers Choice Award: Drexel
Best Dress Winner: Wolverine Bhangra (University of Bhangra)

Is this the first time a bhangra team has won the same competition 3 years running? I can't seem to recall it being done before.



Congrats VCU!

First and foremost..vcu, uva, and drexel...completely tore it up...it was a GREAT show..it is so impressive to see some of these college co-ed teams just tearing it up and in traditional fashion...

I agree with most of the review...

To Wolverine Bhangra - you have absolutely fantastic dancers...I think as far as the caliber of dancers back to front...I thought they had the most talent and their set was definitely place-worthy...not sure where exactly ...as the 3 teams that did place certainly deserved it as well. But Wolverine Bhangra..Do not hang your heads and please compete as much as possible so others can see what it is to see your performance live.

VCU-- did what they do best...a very clean performance...great partner interaction, great energy...and a solid mix...lovin the saap clap...icing on the cake of a wonderful klasikhz mix...

Drexel- ill let the performance speak for itself due to my alllllegiances : )

UVA- team has improved 200 percent. they are now certified G...

Since I don't specifically remember all the details of the other performances, I will say that the 3 teams that did place and Wolverine Bhangra...I thought they had the "it" factor that set them apart from the rest of the teams...There were a few teams that just got flat out boring as mentioned in the review..my advice is to spend more time trying to manage song selection and order...to try and get a better flow to the set. I applaud NYU for going in a new more traditional direction with their set...needs alotta work, but they'll get there...

Lastly, it hasn't been mentioned but both vcu and drexel going into this season..lost alot of marquis dancers...props to both Sheel and Sapan for being able to keep the teams at about the same level with virtually no turn-around time or lag year.
