Great performance guys!


Honestly though, you HAVE to cycle the jodis around more. Nav and Josh are the entire focus of the performance and that's just not going to fly with most judges/competitions. There are a maybe 5-6 times that you guys are not 2/4 people in the focal point of a formation or the focus of some iso dance things (i.e. moonwalk, started from the bottom, Josh's isos, spins at 6:16). Even in phumania though yellow is the focus you're right next to them.


I get why, because the dance skill from top half and bottom half is huge and it takes time to fix that. But at least to me it's really evident that you don't want to highlight certain colors and keep putting blue in front (i'm not gonna call out the jodis specifically, but they are literally covered in most of the formations and almost never in the front half of the stage, so it gets obvious very quickly!).

I agree with everything Swi had to say. This is NSG's second competition and both times you guys have added Cal Dancers and brought out Cal Bhangra. All the attention have pretty much gone to them in the last two competitions. I would really like to see you guys step away from that and make your own identity as a team. Nonetheless congratulations on 1st place and good luck to you guys in the future! You all have such great talent.
