Bhangra Competitions In The UK

[rajkaran]

Another option that you might consider is creating a Bhangra competition of your own in the UK (a lot of work...but definitely worth a try)...i have a feeling there are lots of teams (collegiate and not) that are just itching to dance over there...And it might help open up the bhangra scene in the UK...and it probably wouldn't be hard to find sponsors at all. Im sure Southall in London or Birmingham is teeming with potential mini-sponsors...

That's a Mission

pritpal it would be so good if when i gt into the team we made our own bhangra competition
then everybody in the uk would get into bhangra

 

[faysal]

I think it would be a great idea. Might just look into a northern one since you southerners already have one

 

[pritpal94]

Raman you got some sick ideas Bro! 8)
Last week we were talking about university teams and now a competition.
LETS DO IT!

 

[abhigames]

i can't do anything for 20 minutes...besides...well u know...

 

[faysal]

we don't want to know lol

 

[pritpal94]

Lol I want to know! By the way 20 mins is nothing! It's good for your stamina and we have another routine 30 min long! In every routine we do we HAVE to put effort throughout the whole routine! Pretty hard at first but then you get usedto it. And by the way Faysal the teams at bhangra showdowm were really bad. Its ashame its uni teams only or else we would have won it easily ;D

 

[faysal]

haha yea pritpal I know they were all terrible aside from the winners who were ok. But you have to realise that these were all uni students who were doing bhangra performances for the first time, so they did what they knew, not as lucky as you to have been taught unfortunately

Lol

Another option you might want to consider is hosting an exhibition style event. Pao Bhangra (hosted by Cornell University) comes to mind and we have some alum (saleem,sorethighs) and members from Cornell on BTF who I'm sure would be willing to share information on how they have managed to hold such a succesful event each year. If you are able to provide partial reimbursement for travel and stay by getting a decent number of sponsors, I'm sure teams from the US and Canada would come to the UK to showcase their routines. Think about it!

 

[pritpal94]

Thats a really good idea Waleed! But really got to think hard about it as I may be taking a big step for a 14 year old. Maybe I should ask my Ustad.
Really great idea though Waleed!

I concur!

teams from the US and Canada would come to the UK to showcase their routines.

Yes they would, along with teams from France, Italy, Spain... Make it happen!

 

[pritpal94]

I'm going to gather up some ideas on what I could have ;D.
Still got to talk to my Ustad or I may be in a real mess .

 

[pritpal94]

Hey guys,
Talked to my Ustad last night, starting a competition or Exibition is to big for us yet :-\ He said maybe in like 2-3 years time.
We going to start making new routine thats 8 mins long next year
