Some very cool ideas in there, it was super high energy and fast-paced the entire time. Sapps at beginning was powerful.

What I thought was missing though was graceful execution of moves...maybe some slower parts could have helped - people seemed as though they were going a little too fast at times which made some moves look very messy.

There were wow moments all over the place which definitely kept the crowd going, good movement with formations, and a cool backflip at the end haha! You all catered to your audience and the competition well!

Mixed feelings on this one, there were parts where i was just like "thats effing awesome" and then parts where i felt like grace could have won over energy/movement. DEFINITELY had the wow factor down pat, just work to bring some of the bottom dancers up (noone is bad, just can tell who the stronger ones are). Jugni was awesome (same as burgh i think), and i remember either dhamaal or jhoomar having this one sick sick formation/drop off/pick up part that i dont know how to describe that left me floored.

Congrats on 1st guys!

im gonna agree with kush big time right here. some really great moments and some awesome formations but if you look at pure dancing quality throughout the routine, sundeep is the only one who really upto par as far the guys go...i have some serioussss questions about about the level of collegiate teams. ive seen vcu, unc, dub, and wolverines routine and as a whole i think it speaks much more to the collegiate circuits level right now. well deserved win DUB...but i say that with the footnote of: relative to the other teams in the field.

Not a 1st place performance but good performance....saw the SGPD gimmick (5:07) as well as the KJ stop and go gimmick (4:42) with bits of VCU so got a bit turned off. Near the end the dancers seemed to lose energy and stamina as watch the middle back and right side. Well done otherwise. Good mixx thought post it soon.

definitely agree with pooja - this routine is set to serve the crowd. some very cool formations and it's interesting to see giddah in the middle of the routine. I think a routine like this might do really well at crowd pleasing competitions like Bruin and VIBC. definitely clean and i think your girls hold it down on their own.

This will always be the difference between collegiate and independent teams----- > dancer turnover and dancer development...its the beauty of collegiate teams...you can watch the development of dancers and the maturity..take the same new dancers which I'm sure you noticed in this routine see them next year and see how far they develop. It is actually very rewarding for anyone thats been on a collegiate team or that has seen how much dancers can possibly improve..its much more interesting, fun, and rewarding than being on an independent team where the same experienced dancers get on stage and rip it. It also makes for interesting changing of the guards..when older dancers leave and newer dancers have to step up and try and maintain the same level as the year before.
