Thanks Prabhzy for posting this. I really enjoyed the video.
It makes me so happy to see a documentary of the competition, not only because it allows the participants to reflect on and relive the memories, but because it allows non-participants (everyone else) an opportunity to vicariously experience the comp. This is really helpful because we can see how it was run, different approaches to organization etc. Would be great for competition organizers, new and experienced, to watch and learn from.
I was pleasantly surprised to see how quiet and attentive all the dancers were when a committee member was speaking or explaining something. In several competitions, I've honestly never seen that hahaha. Also all the dharis were on point.
I noticed that there was a pretty high quality food selection. This in itself isn't a big deal but it made me curious about what sort of sponsorships and/or fundraising y'all had? Since the UK scene is still in a rapidly expanding state, I don't know whether to be surprised at the quality and organization or pleased with the extra effort made to attract teams and grow the circuit. Probably both. Haha.
Very well made documentary, and it seems like a really well run competition. Really made me happy to listen to how much passion people have for bhangra and how much the competition brings people together and makes competitive bhangra an important aspect of their lives.
