Great performance ladies. This is an excellent debut performance and a start to, hopefully, a long career for you all! It's always nice to see all female squads take the stage and showcase unique elements to the dance/provide their own twist on moves.
Stamina is an obvious factor, which shwinerz touched on, but that comes with time & team conditioning. I always recommend new teams to "push" themselves to run through your entire routine FULL OUT at least twice back to back. Once you get to that stage, you're dancers are generally well conditioned enough that instead of thinking of "how am I am going to utilize the rest of my energy to get through the rest of our performance?".. they start thinking about things such "how do I make sure that I fully complete this move & make it look unison with my fellow dancers?" or "how am I going to make sure that I bring excellent nakhre, controlled modhe (shoulder action), and execute grace in my moves?"
My biggest gripe other than stamina would be spacing. In this day & age of dancing, teams are held to much higher level for cleanliness. I see that you guys are using markers, but many times in your performance your poor "end" dancers are getting congested when they move to the next formation.
One of the more obvious examples can be seen at 1:12ish, where the yellow and light blue jodis on the right side of the stage get squished into the corner and it looks so messy as they try to execute the front to back moves with the saaps. FYI - when I state stage positions, I am speaking from an audience standpoint. Also, maybe have your chimpta player move further to front right of the stage.. so he's not blocking your dancers. The chimta player doesn't have to be stationary in one corner (he can definitely move around throughout the performance), but he should be familiar enough with your set that he knows which parts utilize the maximum stage width.
Another example is at around 6:55ish, you'll notice a larger gap on the left side of the stage (this time, light blue & yellow jodis caused the large gap!), which leads to congestion on the right side.. especially with the poor green jodi
They are pushing up against one another and almost stepping on the khunde that you guys dropped on the side of the stage (which are "inside" your stage markers.. that's a problem! you want to drop your props OUTSIDE of your markers!).
Anyways, I hope this provides a little bit of guidance. I don't have the time to type out super long critiques anymore, but let me know if you want help with anything else in particular. I look forward to improvements in your future performances!
