You can break down the styles of sets and dancing seen in the US into three categories:
Category 1: Folk Josh Simple Bhangra (innovate through their dancing ability)
-Innovative through their dancing and ability to implement folk elements into a set.
-Sets are pretty damn good still.
Teams: BDS, VSB, Soormey, MBT (2017).
Category 2: Stuck in 2014
- These teams are usually clean af but seem like they are stuck in 2014. Sets typically don't push any boundaries, nor does the dancing.
-Sets are usually boring for more recent dancers.
-THIS DOESNT MEAN THE TEAM SUCKS (people getting offended and shiz)
Teams: AEG, Cal, NSG, most Cali teams are like this(minus empire), most Co-ed teams.
Category 3: Push the boundary (sometimes too far).
- These are the teams that people either love to love or love to hate. They are the innovators in set design and choreo. Often include fusion aspects into their choreo.
- Often are not clean, but when they are, damn it's fun to watch (aka Fauj at Big ten, FCB Clutch 2017).
Teams: FCB, KPGD, UNC, Buckeye, DRP, Fauj.
So to answer your question Abhay...depends on the comp. Burgh, as we saw favors, category 2. BIT6 favors category 1. Blowout is a toss-up. Boston (in a surprise) favors category 1. Bruin category 3. Buckeye mela category 3.
