With our competition season coming to an end, we present our 2nd place performance at Naach Di Cleveland 2017 and our 1st place performance at Circle City Bhangra 2017!

Rebuilding this team has been a journey and we couldn't have done without an opportunity from the Furteelay OG's. We are grateful for our accomplishments and for competing against top tier teams.

Shoutouts:
Sahab Grover- We can't express how thankful we are for making our set even after rupturing your achilles and having to drop as a dancer. Your no bullshit attitude as a coach pushed us to be our best on and off the stage.

Guest dancers- Dhir, Saagar, Akshdeep, Jay (FCB) and Jineet (Michigan Manzil) You guys have been very helpful and allowed us to run a full 16 man set while sacrificing your time to dance with another team. All of you made my experience on this team much more enjoyable and I'm happy I got to know you guys. Jineet you killed your first Bhangra comp and impressed everyone with how quick you picked up the set.

Gsingh- Thanks for making a fire khunde and intro segment for Circle. It hyped us all up on stage.

Liasons- Harbind and Jigar (NDC), Akash and Tarnvir (Circle) You lifted a lot of stress off our shoulders whether it was getting things from CVS or just being fun people to talk to.

Congrats to Nachdi Jawani Joshiley for placing 2nd at Circle City and Buckeye for 1st at NDC!

Damn this was fire. Furteelay is once again a force to be reckoned with on this circuit and I can't wait to see how you guys progress with such a young team going forward. Nasty dancing, good formations, and a great mix as usual. Also shoutout to my boy Bobby. I don't know if this is actually your last performance but you ripped it as always and your energy and enthusiasm for bhangra has clearly carried over to your younger generation. Congrats on a great year!

This overall was an excellent performance from Furteelay. The new boys you got on the team have assimilated well to the Furteelay style. I always enjoyed the way you guys have executed your moves and the form you guys set have always been top notch. The set was entertaining overall. There are plenty of great things in this set, but let us get into things I didn't exactly like.

1. The big phuman I think need to go. They limit your extensions and personally I think the set would look better without them.

2. The formations were not crisp and clean in comparison to your performances in the past. I really enjoyed your Boston performance this year. The formations in that set were executed a lot more cleaner. There were parts in this performance where people were blatantly out of their formations. Some of the lines were off. Those are things that should be fixed. I think this was the biggest low point in my opinion of the performance.

3. Discrepancy in the level of dancing is apparent with some of your newer dancers. This can be seen in between your newbie and your veteran dancers. This can be seen in terms of form especially later on it the set when people begin to get fatigued.

Congratulations once again on a successful season with the number of placings and overall improvements to the set and rebuilding from almost scratch. Sahab, Gsimz, Bobby, Arun, and Sahil keep up the good work. Can't wait to compete against y'all next season ;)

AHH! That was very refreshing to watch. Watched both sets and you can see the improvement from NDC to Circle. The 16 man set was pulled off very well and I always thought you guys had interesting choreo but now you guys have stepped up the formation game as well! However, just like it is the case with a lot of all male teams, try to be cleaner with formations. Make sure everyone is moving at the same time and simple stuff like lining up behind one another is executed fully.

The Khunda segment was so sick. One of the best khunda segments I've seen this season. Jhoomer was executed really well. You guys had a lot of spunk throughout the set and added something in each segment (like the modey/bounce thingy) which kept it hype and the audience involved. I also really really really liked the way you all ended (Circle and Corners formation), refreshing to see a different ending formation. Hats off to you boys and the Furteelay OG's (Gsimz, Arun, Bobby, Sukhraj, Sunpreet, Sahil,Harman) keeping it alive and teaching the new guys the FS way. Welcome back to the winning ways and keep it up. Congrats!

Gsimz as always the mix was bonkers!
