Firstly, shoutout to the guys who made the mix, I've had your video on repeat since yesterday and if I'm not watching your ridiculous performance, I'm jammin to the mix. It's on some next level shit.


Lots of pros and cons have been listed already but, why not a few more, you guys are sick and will go far:


Pros (aka things that made me applaud from my computer screen):
-Flow between segments was amazing, like there's so much good stuff in here loved the opening slow into fast saaps
-Your variety of formations, and that you strayed away from usual 4man box/windows/diamonds was really creative and used the stage very effectively
-Ridiculous energy throughout, and very consistent between dancers
-I died at the khunde chaal. "swag in my pinky" thing was the hypest thing I've seen. Ridiculous complement between mix and choreo.
-Your gunshot Jafaa was really well executed and creative
-Loved phumanian, so so so creative
-Great song flow in the ending, solid ending


Cons (some of these have already been addressed):
-As you guys progress through your set, you tend to slouch (especially noticeable on any low/jugni moves), keep your chests out and your powerful moves will be that much more emphasized
-Keep back straight on baitkan, as someone earlier pointed out, if it helps try spotting a point on the ceiling to help keep your head up
-Jumps were fantastic in terms of execution, but there could be better sync (like when you have 4 jumps in a row, only the last 2 will be in sync, the 1st two some people are still trying to catch up to the pace of the music)
-Star jumps at 4:00 are a cool concept, but weren't consistent across dancers


Most things I said people have said already, but seriously for me, favorite set I've seen in the past few seasons. Keep it up guys I really hope you come to NA for a comp soon. And PLEASE drop your mix on soundcloud!!! Absolutely amazing job ;D ;D ;D

This set made me really happy for some reason. Pure bhangra done in a refreshing way. Zero gimmicks, just pure dancing. Loved how well coordinated you all were. Formations were really well done.


Everyone has mentioned some key critiques. The biggest thing to me was the difference in the josh (energy levels) that some individuals were putting out compared to dancers in the front and the back of formation during the ending minutes/segments of the routine. As a whole I couldn't tell at first, but some dancers caught my eyes after watching the video a few times. This and other critiques mentioned can be improved easily.


The set was definitely place worthy and it was a straight hitter from the point it started. Thank you for keeping the bhangra alive in this performance.

HSM buddy, will you be releasing the mix anytime soon? Mix is too hype and the song selection was very unique.


If anyone can write out the track list of the mix that would be great.

Unfortunately we're not looking to release the mix anytime soon tbh. Sorry about that everyone.
That's a massive shame. I really loved this mix and Wars 2013 mix. You should really release both of them tbh. If you're worried about people stealing mixes; put a tag on them.

Yesss totally agree, the mixing business is so picky these days that teams work really hard to make sure they don't copy mixes anyways. I really hope (and I'm sure a lot of other people do too) that you guys do release it sooner than later, it's an absolutely ridiculous mashup.

Congrats on the first guys, one of the more enjoyable sets of 2014.
Really loved the formations and choreo, and the mix was fire as well.


One thing I noticed was that some dancers had a different 'style' than the rest, that's an issue for a lot
of teams have. All I can recommend is to get your dancers on the same page in regards to that one issue.
