Hey all,

Like we mentioned before, we had an amazing time and have special shout-outs to all the people and teams who made us feel so welcome at Burgh. The competition was extraordinary and could not have asked for a better way to start off the year. Congrats to all the teams...we hope to see you all very soon. Don't be strangers!

With that said, below is our video from this past weekend. Special thanks to Swi for providing us with the video! We're aware of a few mistakes in our performance, but any further *constructive criticism* is welcome. Feel free to e-mail, FB, or PM me with any specific comments. We're also very aware of our "style" and are proud of what we do! We are looking forward to future competitions and hope that you enjoy.

Columbia Bhangra @ Bhangra in the Burgh 4

With a Friendly "Bruaaah!",
Columbia Bhangra

kanwar your tight right now, i know. lol.

I would change the intro to make a better opening prop start. Another thing i kinda noticed as im watching this, so far, girls are always separate and guys are always separate, they separate but then go back to their default separate positions. Cool ideas. A little more grace would help the team a lot.

I loved it and I was quite entertained! You guys do your own thing and you do it well - major props! Nonetheless, your set needs a lot of precision and formations need to be hit even more flawlessly, especially for the vast amount of movement you guys do. Ultimately, how well you guys can clean this set will determine how hard you'll hit the circuit this year. Well done, Columbia!

GREAT JOB COLUMBIA!! You guys have some awesome ideas. Loved the jugni in the beginning & Boom Boom Pow mirza. Cool footwork throughout the performance.

The girls did a great job during jhummar & it would be good to see more of that grace. Jabar is saying guys and girls are always separate, but not having jodi colors makes that alot more distinguished.

Mix is SICK =) Please post

agree with everyone....very entertaining, which is something us NYC collegiate teams have a niche with....but just need to hit some moves sharper, clean up formations, yada, yada...will happen by your next competition i'm sure. agree with the girls/boys separation thing, try to collude more, it may also just be teh vibrany green costumes the girls are wearing that make them stand out more lol. the mix is dope, just make sure the transitions are a bit smoother and that everything is in the correct pitch!

YAY, awesome job Columbia! Great first performance of the year...the ideas were creative and the energy was there, just needs to be tweaked and cleaned a little further [something that I absolutely know will happen by the next competition] :) You all have grown tremendously as dancers and your stage presence was great...and as always, amazing amazing mix!! keep it up, so proud! <3

Columbia. That was the best performance I've seen from you guys, it was entertaining and clean, especially considering how little time you had to do this. The intro was sick and the ending was strong. The new segments rocked this dance for me, and I think you guys have taken the comments people have given you and really tried to implement them. I'm really proud of you guys and think this year will be a big one if you keep working in the same direction.

I agree with the above people for the most part, you guys move around so much AND you have complicated choreo. I think you should take out some of that movement and really emphasize the little effects you have in your choreo. A leg kick looks a lot cooler when it's done in place and hits it than if it's in the middle of a ton of movement. Like I said above, I love the new segments, and if you keep choreographing along those same lines to replace the older segments I think you'll have a ridiculous routine. I loved the take on the mirza, I think you could add a tad bit more grace to it though. The mix for it is really poppy and it's a really cool effect for mirza, and I think if you choreograph it to connect the moves more it'll really hit hard.

I love you guys, and I'm so glad to see that you're staying true to Columbia but still adapting to the changing scene more. <3

i gave my input to Heema a while back, but overall good work, looking forward to more great work, and of course great mix as usual. Good work.
