Couple things homeys..

overall a good routine...
1.First and foremost fix your thurley (no easy task i know, but it looks much better when they aren't blatantly flapping to the point where you can see the back)...the guys chadrey were also way too high.

2. Some of the guys were going all out to the point where they looked like they were gonna fall over or looked like they had just gotten off a merry-go-round...its good to go all out, but keep some balance in your footwork...i don't know how to explain this..hm...some of the best dancers if you cut off their head from their legs...it will barely look like their legs are moving...lemme call it core balance? i dont know..anyone kinda know what im saying? bottom line...minimize the flailing. (its def a grace issue)

3. giddha section was short and sweet...nice.

4. formations were good.

5. good mix...ima bass head...perhaps get a few more nasty bass drops...at the more ohhh ahhh sections of your routine.

overall well done...minor fixes..alotta potential. goood luck.

Hey Guys!

I'm Shama; kinda new to the BTF scene. Haven't really posted anything, but I'm here. Nevertheless, as a member of this team, any feedback (constructive criticism) would be really great (thanks Jeeti)!

So holler, tell us what we do well, what we can do better, and what absolutely needs to go...in your opinion. :)

Btw...hope everyone's enjoying the holidays!

Soorma/Jatt is so overused. It's like teams think they're creative when they use that gimmick, when there are at least 5 other teams doing it.

Other than that, it was a good performance. I'd like to see you guys do the "gator" move in the routine somewhere - I'm sure it'll pump up your fans and the crowd and it's uniquely your thing too!

Lol Kinnell, when I mixed it, I couldn't resist. It was way too easy, and an easy way to bring back a classic. Thanks for the hating tho snitch. no comment on the Millie bit, but gotta get at me about Soorma/Jatt. jeez.

Shama, I think kinnells referring to the chomp.

Mix is legit. Dance is good. Energy was definetly not lacking, but sometimes it felt like there was too much energy and not enough grace and team coordination at points in the dance. (jhoomer segment) which can lead to turla's coming loose. Wardrobe malfunctions will happen but def do all you can to keep it to a minimum. Try to get in front of some mirrors and do the dance. Everyone will gel together to make it cleaner and have arms, leans, legs in the same position. Grace will come from watching more and more bhangra, esp teams that have perfect team grace. Good team with a high ceiling.

correct me if im wrong, but i always thought that in giddha when they kick out the leg its supposed to go forward not to the side.
