Columbia Bhangra @ Tamasha Temptation

[rajkaran]

Hello all!

We've been pretty quiet this year, but I assure we've been hard at work and are finally posting our video from this past season! The team worked extraordinarily hard (blood, sweat, and many tears haha) to find something we were comfortable with presenting to our friends and family. We could not be more happy with the routine and enjoy dancing to it every single time!

More importantly, we could not have done this routine were it not for our alumni and supporters who encouraged us throughout the year! From the judges and new friends at our competitions, to our fellow dance teams out here in NYC. You know who you are!

This routine, from our "Tamasha Temptation" campus show, is essentially the same from our NorCal routine, with a few tweaks and some minor blunders, but we had a ton of fun dancing. Btw, the blackout in the middle was purposeful and could only be seen live. We hope you enjoy! Constructive criticism is always appreciated (let's please not make this into a modern vs. traditional issue haha)!

Yay Columbia!! So proud of how far you guys have come, everyone has improved so much since Allstars. I love that you guys are staying true to the Columbia style. The beginning and first song was sick, loved the mirza. If you just keep working on cleaning and dancing style I know you guys will bring it hard next year.

rajkaran & CU Bhangra. You guys will always hear critics of your style but my advice to you is 'do ur thang'. The bhangra scene needs variety, too many teams out there (esp co-ed) who are bringing nothing new to the table, you guys are obviously modern but good at what you do. I would suggest you try to satisfy some more traditional elements in your routine so you don't get screwed over at a competition. CU Bhangra was a co-ed collegiate powerhouse team but kinda fell off in the last few years, safe to say you guys are laying the groundwork for a possible comeback. Work on cleaning up your execution and overall synchronization.

hooray columbia bhangra, good to see you are still alive and well, and good to see rajkaran and alex woodward at it. d and waleed are spot on, work on cleaning up a bunch, and you guys will be right back where you were at only a couple years ago. the scene absolutely needs some originality and cu bhangra has always brought that to the table, so keep with that. for this routine, the beginning bust out reeked of apd, so watch out for that. i would definitely recommend working on a more proper saaps/khunde/katos/props segment, and really get all your dancers up to par with that; what you have now for those parts were very very weak, and stood out in the dance. thats a general comment as well; work on getting everyone to the same level, and it will make the overall presentation so much better. looking forward to seeing what you all bring out next season

lol thanks for the input! well-noted.

However, I should mention that I'm not a captain of the team! To clarify, captains this past year were Alex W. and Ishaan P...and we had a ton of fun with them!

Yayy Columbia! You guys did a great job at Tmash- the routine was clean and it looked like you had a lot of fun. Each year, you try to incorporate more and more folk elements and I know the effort that goes into making that happen. I'm glad ya'll have stayed true to the CU style and I know you'll bring it even harder next year. I'm so proud of each and every one of you [Alex & Ishaan- way to go, guys!]

Friends.
