lol I was pitching my bhangra Olympics Idea

 

[ranjit singh]

it looks like Punjab to me

 

[mafzal]

Bhangra should be in the Olympics, just need that committee as discussed a few months ago to form concrete judging rubrics and criteria and make olympic bhangra very athletic. Who would have a national team?

India
United States
Canada
Pakistan
Australia
UK
Bangladesh [?]
Ireland [?]
South Africa [?]

lol

 

[Gurvir]

it would be hard to pick 8-16 ppl from the us or canada out of everyone

 

[Mukandpuria]

it would be hard to pick 8-16 ppl from the us or canada out of everyone

then pic two -three teams to compete with each other and the winner represents

 

[Pooja]

but judging bhangra is subjective...so how would that work....

err...is gymnastics subjective? maybe....but obvs swimming/basketball/volleyball etc. has a clear winner most of the time.

 

[Mukandpuria]

i guess the only way that would be has have the same judges throughout the whole thing..and a strict rubric that is passed out to the teams...or just have all traditional teams only..

 

[mafzal]

Yes, would have to be either ALL music teams or all Live, and 2 different teams [co-ed, male, possibly all-girl]. Strict rubrics. Subjective judging can be greatly reduced by having very explicit, strict judging rubrics. Would be somewhat like synchronized swimming judging or rhythmic gymnastics, that's the closest example I can think of.

People audition for spots, and a few would make it as alternates. A few people would also be non-dancing coaches and choreographers. I say put together a fresh all-american team rather than take an existing team. Isn't that how it's done for soccer, basketball, other team sports?

 

[Shahzaib Khan]

this is a great idea maybe we should this in the olympics in 2012 it would make sense and we could get ppl from netherlands, germany but afghanistan? bangladesh? china? japan? now these countries i dunno about

 

[JotBrar]

it would be fun to watch
