New Girls Bhangra Team from North Carolina

[lavesh]

Hey BTF, I am hereby introducing the Girls Of Natya Academy Dance School (figure out the acronym for yourself) to the scene ! This team was formed during the summer of 2010 and is semi-coached by Ustaad Gurinderbir Chahal Ji, formerly of PAU and myself, Lavesh Pritmani, formerly of Gajjde Gabroo. The team is comprised of all college-aged women. Feedback is appreciated!

Natya Academy Women's Bhangra Team

ps: as you can see, we need a new team name lol...suggestions are appreciated!

Good performance and the girls definitely seem like solid dancers - I would say as a girls team to do more power/fast paced segments. Especially as females, you definitely want to show that they can be agile, strong and athletic dancers as well. At the end of the dance you did have a faster song with Jad Kuriyan Ne - but I wouldn't consider that a power segment. Definitely add something strong, fast paced with constant moving. Don't hold back just because its a girls team.

Also, the routine was extremely female oriented - I would say maybe a little too much. You started with a giddha song, moving to another female song about mutiyaars (sorry don't know the song), then to Laal Chure Waliye, Jhummar with female singer, and also ending with Jad Kuriyan Ne. I understand this might have been for a local Diwali performance, but that would not be competition material (maybe exhibition material). Play around a bit more with the songs, it's ok to dance to songs you normally would see only male teams dance too.

I definitely also want to add - get more creative with the choreo. I didn't catch many creative moves, footwork, segements. The phumniya was typical phumaniya, jugni was typical jugni, mirza was typical mirza. Bring creative ideas into those types of segments and really play around with footwork a bit more.

I understand this is a new team with only 6 girls it seems like- So sorry if I seem a little harsh!! But I felt like I had to comment as another female dancer. It's great to see an girls-team from North Carolina and I support this all the way!

GONADSSSSSSSSS


lol. on a serious note, u girls are pretty solid dancers, and clearly have had some solid coaching as far as execution and performing moves on a uniform basis. some of ur segments were typical, but being coached by a former pau dancer that doesnt surprise me, esp if u guys are new, getting the basics down is an important step, developing choreo will come with time and practice. u seem to be headed in the right direction, good luck
