we had a few new cats so they did sick for first performances but the guy playing violin his name is Raginder hes from out in Union City hes crazy sickkkkk at itt) which involves a lot of jumps, a lot of squats, a lot of spins and fast choreo that definitely requires a lot of stamina. However, you guys failed to properly execute it and not all of your guys could handle it.
this is bhangra, not writing class.kinnell said:Eeeeek. Watching the HD definitely changed my opinion of this set.
It's a HUGE risk to go the fast choreo route, and unfortunately it did not pay off for you guys. In the past, I have been a big fan of the BK "spider-monkey" style (term coined by Arjun Banerjee
It was a messy set. People made mistakes. When you have complicated choreography, a single mistake can kill the choreo or ruin the effect. But more than that, you need to go back to the drawing board in terms of formations. They were ugly. If you have crazy complicated high energy steps, don't incorporate complicated formation mechanisms. Even if you can flawlessly execute it, it may be too much for the human mind to comprehend. Formations were poorly executed: People were off here and there. Purple seemed to have problems hitting his spots a few times or seemed to lag behind. some steps need to be fully executed, but more importantly, you need to standardize them amongst your dancers. In terms of steps, they seemed a bit jerky at times. I've always said that a great dancer knows when to be graceful and knows when to be energetic. Add some graceful steps in your routine to show off the talent of your dancers.
You guys have phenomenal energy and stamina. The violin segment was mad creative, but I would have him get to the side of the stage faster. While the dude has talent, the gimmick won't win competitions nor is it an instrument competition. The concentration should still be on your dancers. They should be in the center, still doin their thang as normal. Get to the Mirza segment faster and cut. I'm not saying hide your violinist, but you won't win extra points for it if the other dancers are compromising good choreo so the spotlight is on him.
Also: I would tell you guys to get new saaps. The big saaps look great for slower saap routines, but look clumsy for fast saap segments.
I am giving you this critique under the assumption that you are a tier-one team. You guys have a lot of potential to place and win at the top competitions. But remember, if you choose to go fast, jump high and squat low, make sure everyone can handle it. The most important thing to show on stage to the audience is not how fast you can spin, but how much you can dance like a team. If you want to have crazy effects, drill the choreo so no one forgets it. Yeah, mistakes happen to everyone, but your choreo absolutely depends on everyone being on spot. CLEAN this shit up - I have higher expectations of you guys.
