love the way you guys dance. In terms of posture, every team should model after you guys. And your form is very strong. I appreciate the effort you guys have put in to making the entire team dance like that.

This set was insane! Great stuff guys! Can't wait to see what you guys bring next week at BATF!


Also, the dude in the red with less facial hair than his johri is a monster dancer. Couldn't keep my eyes off him.

you guys are killin it with these sets. dope choreo and execution, phumaniya segment and that spinning step at the beginning of jhummar were my favorites. if you can get everyone on the team closer to the style/skill level of the reds...im gonna lose my shit. y'all are making it worth visiting this site, keep it up!

Really liked your Windy City performance, and this is just as dope if not better. Like the patiala peg intro, and the jhoomer was awesome too!


I've been hearing the prodigy's remix of Khair Mangdi on the circuit a lot in the last couple months used for dhamaal into jugni - but i really digged your take on it, especially the dhamaal portion

This was sick, I loved the choreo in the segment before the last song. If the rest of the team can get to the level of control the reds have, then this team will have no problem cleaning up every competition you go to.

Thanks for the feedback guys! I'm glad that you all enjoy watching the sets as much as we enjoy performing them. Also, I agree with the comment about raising the level of our dancers to match the red jodi. So far all of our dancers have shown so much growth since they began dancing and it has definitely reflected on stage. We're proud of our boys, but yes, unifying our style and energy levels is something that we're continuously working towards as a team.

Honestly, it's not even about having everyone look the same, which is something I think a lot of teams don't get these days. Some of your team looked a bit stiff at times, whereas the red jodi looked like they were flowing from one set of moves to the next. Work on getting that level of control and the rest will fall into place.

This is a badass set! Loved your windy city performance but this was definitely better and cleaner. I agree with most of what the guys have said on here but you guys have something great going and need to keep it up. Fix the mistakes but stay true to your style which is a pleasure to watch.

The bhangra was really entertaining throughout the set and the little piece after shikke+ending was really super sweet to watch. Good job boys! SPD, SGPD, XTREME, NJW all making solid sets. Looks like Canada is making a comeback!

Great performance and congrats on first guys. I thought you all should have had Windy City as well because you guys maintained a higher level of cleanliness and consistency through the routine along with this one. Really enjoyed the Bedi segment and the way the team is taught to lift legs and bend kneez throughout the set is amazing!

The only problem I have is that legs aren't being picked up throughout the set with the same consistency. It shows during an ending segment or Shikkeh, but it should be done for all transitional segments whether slow or fast.

I admire the set creation because it keeps going, there isn't a dull moment of waiting which is something team should adapt, and your mix reinforces that from prop segments to dancing segments. Hats off and keep it up!

I'm a little late because I don't comment on here much but I think this deserved one. Just this one performance made me wanna watch more. Performance was hype and Red Jorhi was killer (bearded red hitting shikke and lesser bearded red hitting that last song was dope)! Couldn't keep my eyes off of them so I agree with the rest of the critiques here about getting everyone to that level. Looking forward to seeing more of you guys and congrats on your win!

PS. I wish more teams would use their modhay the way you guys do when you hit your moves. Props!
