Ok so I really can't remember everything but I'll give a jist of what I remember:
APD- There was nothing I could remember entirely that was like ohhh. Stunts are crazy as usual. I think everyone can expect the usual tower going on. So seems like your next challenge would be to find something new to bring to a comp. Energy is crazy. Like to randomly do a move really fast and pauseee isn't that easy. And i would never attempt. Ya i'm not a fan of the style but what made the performance stand out for me was the crazy energy level. I noticed that a lot of the guys on the team are very different heights but when you lay out formations you use this to your advantage a lot. So, if a team ever faces that challenge, I'd definetly watch a few apd videos to see how they can make sure each segment is not just a focus on the segment they're dancing on but also, emphasizes the person.
Oh on a side note, I never notice the team as a whole. So, consider the review as a critique of a sample of your team.
PDAP- Cute backdrop haha love the little footprints. Nakhra was wayy different than I'm used to, in a good way. I think if I remember anything I'll remember that oh this team is really cutee when they dance. Its like one of those movies where it's raining and all of a sudden this random group comes out of nowhere and all the clouds disappear and out comes the sun sorta deal< if that makes sense cool, if not i can't think of how else to describe it (it must be the umbrellas that made me think of it). But definetly nakhra was way different than most co-ed teams and after seeing soooo many co-ed teams its so hard to tell how each one differs. But then again, I really can't remember anything from the routine that really stuck out, so I guess your biggest challenge would be to figure out how to really distinguish yourselves from the rest of the co-ed teams.
-This goes for a lot of the co-ed teams. After a while all of them start looking the same, everyone has the sameee cutesy jhummar song (usually a miss pooja song about skipping etc) and the moves are the same I think it'd be sick to see something different. Ya the music choice limits teams a lot but there's def songs out there that can go way beyond the little omggg i'm soo bashful i'm gonna blush if you look at me sorta deal (i think if i see that move again i'm going to have to get up and find something better to do with my time).
Um hmm I really can't remember any of the co-ed teams. As of right now I don't see any reason to watch a co-ed team. Like if your co-ed then show me why your co-ed. Basically whenever I see a co-ed team I see a team that says oh well lets make a bhangra team and we might as well just go co-ed because its gonna be easier to make a team. Its not like omggggggggg I absolutely loveeeee the idea of a co-ed team and oh i really want to bring out what music says about being in different relationships. This probably makes no sense. So i'll present it from an all girls team or an all guys team. Whenever I see an all girls/all guys team come on stage I know that ohhhhhhh yaa these are those guys, they usually have a tendency to show this in their routine. Like sgpd sets up a different persona than nj and shan e and thats how we distinguish them. Co-ed teams lack this a lotttt!! Basically it looks like you had to make a set and make sure it has a prop, jhummar, dhamaal, yada yada yadaaaaa etc we get the point segment. It doesnt even have to be about being co-ed . It could just be something you want to prove that oh yo you all better my watch out my team is (sooo cute, tough, ghetto, fruity, classic etc, whatever i'm running out of stuff).
Uh lets seee teams that I can remember:
MBT: really cleannn. Ya style is way different from what everyone wants to see, but who cares. You guys carry yourselves really well. A lot of energy in the routine. But then again I really cant remember a single song/segment you all did. I liked the pokemon intro vid that was sickkk...i thought I was going to see that extended somehow in the routine, but you all did the whole go blue theme, which is sick but then again after so many years at fusion it can only go so far. Question in general, collegiate teams do you ever find yourself caught in a web trying to figure out if oh should we stick to what the teams before us have been doing or should we do whatever we want? Where do you draw the line?
SMD: lets see comparing my team to another girls team i have no clue. I feel like you guys bring something completely different to the table then the rest of the girl's teams. I like the fact that you can do the really girly thing, I think its hard to find a balance between looking extremely girly that hey i might as well just do gidha and hey i can still do bhangra and show that yaaa we're girls. But then again the whole girly paradigm i'm like ehh about, personally I can only take so much of it, and after a point it gets annoying have to fit that whole i'm sooo cute, do kikli, hold a phulkari etc thing. Loved how you incorporated motown into your mix. reminded a few of us of the vent motown sessions hahahahaha those were sick, too bad joe wasnt there to join in as well. hmm, again i never watch the whole team, so i have to say some of your girls were really good, and then some i felt overdo some of the moves. The only thing i can remember was the mela, which i thought was off beat with the moves, and abc its easy as 1,2,3 .......lalalalla sick song to use!!
wolverine- sick seeing you guys for the first time. guy in yellow was a really good dancer. I can't remember anything in the set that was different than most co-ed teams.
NYPD: You guys sucked!!!....no seriously i was really glad that NYPD came as NYPD and not as a "toronto team." They do a really good job creating an image for themselves and presenting it. Umm again i can't remember the whole set, but i remember individual parts. each dancer was sick in their own way....hmm enough compliments i think. Mix was sick-complemented the routine extrememly well (which i think is another problem for a lot of co-ed teams the mix is sooo whateverrrr----and I have no solution for it).
Overall, the teams were really fun to watch up close, and I think the best partttt was when your sitting in your chair and literally a dancer will connect with you at random moments (def can't do that I'd probably forget what my moves are--but those who did do it were like =O ahhhh)
uh i think i'm out of stuff to say...so no i dont hate co-ed teams i just think they gotta bring it up a notch and figure out how to really get their names out there because ya i remember who performed just because i met the people but i literally have no idea what was like =O about the performance.
On another good note, i found a new station to listen to 92.3 =)
uhh and can people get some reviews up pleasee or send me one if you dnt wanna post it up
