How bhangra should be done Folk

[Karan P Singh]

I really don't have time for you amymroe I had no idea this thread was about to get this much attention but It did...We obvious have different ideas about how bhangra should be lets keep it that way. Trust me I understand where youre coming but the way you came out didn't sit well with me too much but Drop it because I dont know you and You dont know me


Don't worry about what I do you don't know me...some high school shit tryin to act hard on the internet.
And if you mean that sincerely Thank you, I haven't seen battle yet. Training in that field though.

I hear what you are saying i probably felt the same way 3-4 years back. But look man if you dont like it, dont watch it. im glad every team does shit differently otherwise we would be watching the same boring videos over and over again. For the same reasons i dont like watching a lot of coed teams because all of them seem to look alike. Diversity in the circuit is the key to keeping it alive and running. Everyone does bhangra the way they like doing it. Simple as that.

I can respect that bro

Ok so I read this whole post and I agree with Karan. Teams like unc and Bhangra empire do Bhangra but most of the time their gimmick has nothing to do with Bhangra. If u disagree please tell me how a marching band had anything to do with Bhangra.Teams like Sgpd virsa Aeg nj nypd etc do Bhangra and gimmicks yet everything works out fine cus their gimmicks are Bhangra related. Also no one is sexist or calling out coed teams. The performance with Aeg and Smd collaboration was amazing and one of the best sets I've seen.

95% of UNC's set last year was a pretty "folk" set, more traditional and less gimmicky than performances done by SGPD, AEG, NJ, NYPD..etc. If anything, I'd think you would be arguing for teams to follow in their style and execution. All of the teams you mentioned are creative and integrate variations, gimmicks consistently within and throughout their choreography and performance, which is way less "folk" than the safer, cleaner performance by UNC. The marching band gimmick was a small part of UNC's entire routine and to me, plays tribute to traditional, live instruments bhangra with a modern day metaphor.


And to say that all those teams only perform "bhangra related gimmicks" is not only hilarious but insulting to their creativity and the risks they took to try something different and new. How do the Spartans play into bhangra? And the "Shawshank Redemption theme of SGPD"? Popping balloons? Jabberwockeez? Hiphop gimmicks? Yo-yo's? If your argument is that these teams were "dancing" while doing these gimmicks, then did you forget that Bhangra Empire's dholi was playing while coming down from the ceiling? That UNC was dancing to the marching band playing similar to how live teams dance to their musical troupes?

This thread is making my eyes bleed.


Putting AEG on a list of teams who are keeping 2008 AVAP style bhangra alive is laughable to say the least.

Teams like Nj nypd sgpd do that Accordingly to the competition Majority of there sets still stick to the folk roots unlike the other teams u mentioned. this thread is done Everyone has there own different oppinions Let it be that way. I'm just saying teams like NJ Shan E AG etc etc are just muchhhhhh more entertaining to watch
