Shout out to my boy Anik, looking great in a live set!

Props to Nana and the whole DCMPAA crew, this was a very impressive performance, deserves some recognition. Also orange dancer was a treat to watch!

should have placed...what did the judges say?
The feedback from the judges was totally irrelevant. According to them one of the reasons why we did not place was because our dancers are not all the same height and to them it looked odd...
Another reason according to them was that our sial coti was not strong enough or in sync. Obviously the video tells a different story.

shout out to my boys pushpit, karan (orange), mandeep and the rest of the dcmpaa crew...you guys killed it! Mandeep is one of the most talented singers i have heard, so proud--and in such awe--of how far he's come in such a short time with our team and with dcpmaa.

clean, energetic, and a very impressive performance...definitely should have placed!

:eek: lol! Sounds like a cop out excuse. How is sial koti supposed to be performed harder? You guys should have asked for an example.

Overall, I thought the set was coreographed well and nicely executed. I could see some mistakes here and there, but nothing to really fuss over. I thought the set held its own amongst the other live teams (that I've seen videos of) and should have placed imho.

Anyway, keep your heads up and continue to practise hard. The guy in the orange vardi definitely stood out and should help to bring others to his level.

Hope this helps,

~ Basim :)

Sial koti was not that strong, actually. Lot of unnecessary movement, which shows lack of muscular control. And Gurpreet, get your leg up higher.

Agreed.

Ok unfortunately I only got to watch the ending half of this, and I watched with no music (you'd think working at an IT company, I'd have no problem with computers!!).

Two dudes in orange-one of you seemed to lack energy (I'm guessing Gurpreet?), the other one was KILLING IT (Karan? Maybe? Correct me if I'm wrong)!!!! HOLY SH*T. I wanna dance like you when I grow up lol.

Pink jori (not to single you guys out but literally my eyes were glued to you both)-there was a point where I think you both hit a wall. You seemed tired, but it looked like you used whatever energy you had left to overcompensate. At points you looked a little awkward while dancing-watch out for those. I will say that I think you both have made major progress since I first saw both of you dance!!

Otherwise, good performance. I'd offer up a much better critique... but I'm kinda very lazy.
