The sequence from 6:30 - 6:42 was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick, the choreo, the music, I loved it.

am I the only one underwhelmed by the violin segment? It's not all that unique (people been talking about doing something like it for a while now).

Major props to the violinist for pulling it off, trying to play acoustic in a venue like that is really really hard and he played damn well. But the lack of choreo (and people just looking like they're taking a break) was a real disappointment for me, would have been cool to set up something memorable form the dance, not just oh sick i remember a violinst coming out.

Doing Mirza with him was just sheer brilliance, but again the mirza itself, the actual dancing, was kinda lackluster.

You guys killed it after that though, gotta agree that 6:30-6:42 was sweet. Great job, can't wait for the next performance!

After watching a real quality video, i was a bit disappointed with this performance. you guys have some great talent, and very energetic dancers. However i feel like you guys didn't maximize your abilities. The formation were very sloppy, especially the saaps. The breakout was clearly off, and many dancers were late, and than the one dancer who went down at the end? Dangs were also a bit messy, levels were off at various points...

On a positive note the violin segment and the mirza was probably one of the most creative pieces of the year so far. Props to whoever thought off that, and props to executing it.

Look forward to great performances from BK , clean up, make moves standard for the team, and you guys will be a solid team. Love the mix!!!! ;D

That's what I'm talking about, great performance. Especially for how young you guys are, which I assume u guys are not that old. Brought me back a (glimpse)llil bit to the hay day KJ, Sher, Soormay, LBC -ish .

Energy was definitely amazing, Violin- when I heard the Mirza I almost wet my pants.

You guys still got a ways to go, but I think you guys have madd potential.
I must say, I want another stunt in the routine.
I could give u a full review, but I'm too lazy if u really want it lemme know. Keep reppin the bay, East bay more specifically.

i can see what your saying and appreciate the critique but i dont know how much crazier you can go with jugni and if its a taking a break...then technically every team does it correct me if I'm wrong but its a element of bhangra whether its easy or not rrrrioooooggghtt?

Way too many style variances for my taste. You guys gotta look the same when you dance, you can't just be clean without matching styles.

no for sure I def understand that, but I mean things like getting low for jugni, pushing the nakhra there, etc. Since it is slower, being more synched and making it more enjoyable to watch instead of just sort of being like, 'everyones focusing on the violinist now' that's all. I'd give the same jugni critique to a lot teams as you say

btw who IS the violinist, would love to get a name so we can actually refer to him properly
