With GTV, you're able to see dancers more clearly and focus on formations to a lesser degree. With that said, I would have hoped to see the individual swag (aka "OD nakhra", "step variations", "adding your own twist to the step when the rest of the team is doing something else") toned down a bit more. There's a lot of talent and experience on this team, but it is still a team performance and that reduction in individual swag would have resulted in an even cleaner performance. Still a clean performance. Most dancers blended well (except shorter green who stood out at too many points). And in regards to the end, if you're bringing other dancers to the stage, make sure they don't detract from the cleanliness. Your main roster was killing the end and unfortunately were hidden by weaker, "audience" dancers that did not mesh well with the rest of the dancers.
To me, the JJ has set itself apart by having a set with a mix of standard bhangra steps and bhangra steps with creative variations. The set has next-level formations (GTV doesn't do justice to that unfortunately) and picks a maximum of 3-4 x-factor gimmicks for the entire routine to maintain the "folkness" of the set. However, for the latter observation, I would have hoped to see more originality if you were to do a gimmick. We've seen the khundey spin (SGPD, JJ) , the floating khundey on rafters (APD), the back banner drop (countless), different leveled lehria (VCU..etc) - if you're going to do a maximum of few x-factors in the routine, then make them something completely new and different. I'm not saying do more gimmicks - you guys have a great balance between creativity and folk. But all gimmicks that you do, we've seen so many times that it's just an opportunity lost to do something more memorable.
Would have loved to see you guys compete at a comp against NJ, SGPD, PCBCA..etc before you retired. Even with the Canadian teams competing less and less in the circuit, most US teams are unable to keep up. For US, these are some of our most desperate hours. Help US, Joshiley Jawan. You are one of our only hopes.
