First of all, by far the best FCB set till date. Ending was buck wild!! Clean this set up and you will be set! Here are some pointers from my view:
-Overall energy was off the charts, amazing.
-Had some mishaps, but pretty sure you guys already know what went wrong.
-Sapp segment=killed it!!
-Something I noticed that a few guys bounce their shoulders and some don't, try to be consistent with that. Even though your energy is amazing, bouncing the shoulder look ten times better.
-Jugni/chaal was sick!
-At times I felt the energy was inconsistent. For example, at 6:33 during your betkeh, guy in black was going crazy, but the other dancers weren't. Try to keep it all balanced as much as possible.
-Nakhra and formations were on point as well.
-Lastly, this might come in handy to other teams as well, but just because you are in the back doesn't mean you can be "lazy," there are eyes watching you everywhere (creeper status, i know).

I have seen FCB perform live many, many times, and this was definitely the most well-choreographed, most difficult, and best performance I have seen them deliver. Keep it up guys :) would have to second the feedback given earlier about the shoulders esp during the khundey segment, and i thought going forward you should work on having more control during your dance moves and some of your actions should look less frantic...

That saap hopscotch thing was super tight. Close call between whether I liked your jugni better in this performance or at Bruin, but I think Bruin wins out. I'm biased though because your mix from Bruin is one of my favorite mixes ever. Opening with the signature squats was awesome. Ravi says I'm FCB certified to do those so, you know, holla at me. I noticed you guys put a big effort into cleanliness compared to previous performances and it really shows. Great set!

This is probably the best FCB set i've seen to date

2 quick things for the future:

- Your dholi was working against you in this one
- One of the yellow dancers really needs work on his form

After watching this set 10x..I still can't understand why this didn't place. You guys come out with a sick set every comp guys. Hopefully you guys place more because you definitely deserve to.

This set may be place worthy, but I didn't see it thru your dancers. Young kids that danced, great, it's good to get their foot in the door with a competing team, but this performace didn't do it for me, maybe because your dancers have been stronger in the past, but I think a set is only as good as it's execution. One thing you guys should think about is lifting your legs for EVERY MOVE. Even transitions when you're moving, there's no reason why you shouldn't be lifting up your legs. And stay on beat, dancers look all over the place at segments like Phummania, which can be an extremely clean, or messy segment, but it's how you execute the moves. Your ideas are great, some really neat stuff, I like Jhoomer, a segment where swag and control were both present. Mirza/Jugni was nice, but I think you guys should think big picture like Mirza/Jugni, what will set your segments apart, and you apart as a team? But this set in my eyes was good, but your dancers need a lot of work still, I've said it in the past too work on your dancers and you guys will be golden. At parts it also looks like you guys are dancing the set effortlessly which can be a really good thing if it makes The dance seem natural, but in this case to me it just felt like you all weren't challenging yourselves. You guys have grace down, but not power. I may sound harsh, but I see potential. Good luck with future competitions though!


P.S. - Pankaj you pulled thru mayne great work, teach me your ways ;)
