Overall:
> you guys need to figure out your style. If you want to be a folk team then you need to execute your moves in that manner. It takes time for a team to find a style but dont try to force anything
> you need to get all dancers onto the same level and make sure everyone is doing the moves the same way. This is probably one of the hardest things to do but get everyone into one line and do the move over and over again until its being done the same
> make your transitions smoother in your mix. It seemed as though someone was pressing stop and play between every song
> formations can be more creative, and make sure you are watching your lines and making the formations clean
> you need to really listen tot he music when you choreograph, try to learn which moves work with what beats. It seemed at parts moves were just randomly thrown on.
Routine
-I didnt like the team coming out and doing jhummer while the sher was going on. The sher finished, music stopped, then you guys went to the back and kind of re-started. it took away from the flow.
- Move at 1:40, the girls at the back with shikke did not work
- the lehriys footwork done at the beginning of Panga, was not executed properly and did really work with the music
- girls werent holding katos properly. You need to hold them lower, and balance them with your thumb
- at 2:37 you guys come up doing 'kohre'. Kick your legs up and not out
-3:07 the bethka hand movements looked really messy
- seeti, way too fast to be doing a jugnee
-4min the leaning jugnee, NJ brought it out in 2006, its been over done and the effect has been lost, try not to use it
- 4:20 look at your hands when you do fasla
- 6:53 ish, even though the guys and girls are doing a different move, both should be lifting up the same leg
- 7:40 you guys repeated that move many times in the routine
You guys will only get better with experience
