I cannot even tell you how much I enjoyed this performance from the beginning to the end. Absolutely got me hyped From when the Sher started till all you boys left the stage. This is ideal how Performances should be done because you can tell how much each and every dancer is enjoying themselves on stage and how much time you boys probably put into this performance. JJ is hands down one of my favorite teams A team that other teams should follow because you guys are Folk but you have the modern touch and a lot of teams don't know when to stop with the modernizing its always to an extent and like I said this is an amazing performance I think the best I've seen for a long time.

After listening to the Sher I was already so into it and it just gave the entire performance a boost almost Its like heading into an performance with an advantage or a lead if you may And then putting on a killlerrr performance. Awesome team

i love this team, so it's no surprise that i absolutely loved this performance.


i can tell that you guys took a lot of the E8 critiques to heart; the synchronicity is ridiculous here. it looks like you all are just color-shifted reflections of each other. personally, i liked your buckwild-or-go-home style at E8 a little better, but this is still amazing. i definitely appreciate the amount of work it takes to get such a high level of cleanliness.


choreography was on point. SRK, you're one creative mofo. the balance between new moves and ones brought back from the E8 performance was perfect. i will say that i liked your E8 daang segment more; i feel like too much emphasis was placed on the daang breaking gimmick, at the expense of some raw choreo. jhummar was my favorite—such grace, such power.


the high point, overall, though, was definitely formations. you guys capitalized on your unreal synergy so well—every dancer was not only aware of what he was doing, individually, but what his teammates were doing.


i'm going to be very sad if this indeed is your last performance. there isn't a team quite like you, JJ. don't leave us.

that's Daman from APD
Then he must have been the pink guy from Rutgers at Garden State too!

amazing performance! JJ has always been one of my favorite teams to watch. they bring an unparalleled level of synchronization and execution. JJ's style has strongly influenced the way I dance and I hope more teams/dancers adopt elements from JJs performances.

It was amazing to have the opportunity to hang out and work with your team! You guys have established a presence on the circuit that will definitely be noticed for a long time.

p.s. VPD (return of the JJ) is a clear candidate for best performance on the NA circuit to date.

You guys rocked the stage! Song selection is huge for you guys, your guys songs are classic tracks that are fun and light to listen to.. The best part is that you guys match the ease and always seem like you guys are having fun on stage. Thats one of the biggest reasons why people love watching you guys! Loved the transitions between formations, a lot of moving but you guys made it look so smooth. The energy and hype moves are there when needed and so is the grace and jordi interaction.
Songs are folk, moves are folk, nothing overdone and the execution is there! A lot of teams nowadays just focus on hype, pumped songs and forget to have fun on stage. JJ never disappoints, sucks that you guys have decided to retire but I totally feel you guys! We're pretty much done ourselves.

Sharukh bro, your a sick guy. I've seen the work you've out into this team and you've done amazing... All the JJ guys have. I wish you guys the best of luck with your guys future! Oh, and message me if you guys ever want to come back to the scene, ill be down to dance with you guys :p Only to help bring such a sick team back! The circuit needs teams like these. I got nothing but love and respect for you guys!

No doubt about it, a classic performance. Dancing was on point (SRK def your best performance ever. looked effortless)...

Honestly, i'm less for showering compliments, cause those are easy to give. I prefer to critique, its just the way i am... but i really couldn't find any major criticism for this entire set. That is impressive. Some of my fav performances of all time have major shortcomings, and this really has none. honestly don't know if there's a better compliment i can give, so I'll just leave it at that. Hats off to JJ.

breathtaking routine is the best way to put it, every moment there is several peeps KILLING this performance. I'll hold out hope and hope for another return of the JJ. the young Luke is born (shahzaib) and will carry the legacy.

JJ!!

this set was very well executed, best of 2013 for sure. I strongly feel that you guys should continue dancing, if you have an opportunity to be the best at something.. fight for it, earn it and defend it. What I really appreciate about this set is that it caters to everyones taste. It's got segments of modern, folk and fusion all in one set and that effect is really hard to pull off and requires a shit ton of hard work and strategic set making.

Congrats on the great set!

Just as a refresher, this is one of the most unique, creative, and (importantly) well-executed sets I have ever seen. There is a good mix of a few abbreviated gimmicks that ease in and out of the the dancing rather than disrupting the flow of the set, while the set itself has innovative choreography that doesn't fall into typical alterations that people make on the same moves over and over. It takes a great deal of skill and to be able to execute something that looks good conceptually, so kudos on that. Finally, a hearty congrats to Sharukh, one for having the leadership to see this through, and for a set that in many ways looks like the logical conclusion to a lot of the other work you've done. Also props to whoever made the mix, shit goes.

Shahrukh, I told you I'd get around to posting haha


Mix of the year, no doubt. I blast it every day.


This was my favorite performance of the year. I've always been a big JJ fan and I'm glad you guys returned to the old JJ. Super clean, super folk, amazing nakhre/presence, and incredible choreo and creativity. Favorite NA jhoomer ever for me. Loved the intro, phumaniya, and ending bhangra section too. I haven't liked anyone's mela in a long time, but apna sagneet was the perfect end to this set. I think my favorite part of this team is how you guys understand bhangra. This performance was such a statement.


Shoutout to my bro Komil for killing this performance. I think I might like you better as a chimta player lolz. We will be jodis one day.


Shahrukh- the circuit will miss your choreo and creativity of formations dearly. Here's to hoping JJ makes a comeback!

Shahrukh veer, this was an amazing performance by you and everyone else. I have been a big fan of you and JJ for a long time. Elite 8 was too beast and this was right there next to top performances of all time. Hope y'all comeback, your fans will definitely be waiting.
