SMD Bhangra Club @ Fusion Royale (video)

[pluthra]

ok i watched this without music so didnt entirely grasp everything but allowed me to focus on the moves more

1) I think the girls look great, but they don't look tiny instead they do a good job of looking big on the stage
2) amazing for a team like this to put together a routine and practice in a few days and go perform
3) a lot of people mentioned chunnis..... i think what could help if you're afraid to cut them and all..is just pin them better....so pin them on your shoulders-I noticed a few girls had theirs fallin of their shoulders (use huge pins and try to band it together to the size of your shoulder and then pin-like 2/3); also pin the front and the back down (or as mariam will say staple them onnnn)

about the dance....as many have said I didnt see what defined SMD as SMD....I kno that you all dont have time to practice with each other a lot, but I think that even if you practice a lot on your own and have some style at least its better than nothing
-and I didnt see a flow of omggggggggggg i luvvv thisss in the dance it was kinda dull
-moves looked good, but some seemed like they weren't entirely completed like it was cut short

Ignore Hans
You girls did great, I really enjoyed it.

mix

1. the mix needs a complete overhaul...sidrah did a good job singing, but she needs to be louder...her voice does not have enough variation...
2. i know everyone loves old school, and maybe u had a theme, but it's not working...the old school thing usually only works when you have 1 old song, and all new ones...
3. the mix in general is monotonous...it needs more pizzaz.

choreo

the choreo is repetitive, there is barely any ingenuity
the formations could be better.

overall

you guys need to practice more, simple as that.

it's not fair to the audience if you are gonna half ass it...i am friends with a lot of smd girls, but come on guys...either you bring it, or don't join a competition until you are prepared.

143 smd, step it up.

Lol, you can have one of me as your close ;D

I know a few of the SMD girls and I know for a fact that they're very talented and experienced, but all of that talent goes down the drain if you don't practice.

I think your number one priority (before choreography,song selection or anything else) should be to arrange some time maybe once a month and meet as a team to practice. Everyone's hesitance when shifting into different formations and forgetfulness results in a low quality performance when in reality you have all the resources and talent to have a solid performance.

However, let's not forget its pretty amazing you guys can even pull this off (learning formations/choreo before the show), just imagine what your routine would like look like if you practiced for a few more days. Good luck in the future!

Sidrah's voice is amazing btw.

Wouldn't a pre-recorded live segment be like.. and oxymoron? lol

Yes. So it's more accurate to refer to that part as traditional music rather than live.

1) Girls shouldnt do mirza. That move in particular is meant to be extra manly. You are supposed to execute the move as if you are impersonating the Brave Mirza jatt. With that said, should girls do it? I think not.

i think they should be able to do mirza.There are many forms of it.many modified forms.Bhangra was made to impersonate men working the fields...so women shouldnt do it at all?..i think the whole issue of women doing bhangra or not doing it should never be brought up.Maybe they should slap their thighs because that move itself is awkward for a girl.or do neck jumps on men or double standings..

I agree with everything harkiran said.....but ill add a few more things...........

1) Girls shouldnt do mirza. That move in particular is meant to be extra manly. You are supposed to execute the move as if you are impersonating the Brave Mirza jatt. With that said, should girls do it? I think not.

or just change mirza to make it more girly?nahh..I think its fine for them to do the move as long as they do it properly.

uhh or just be sahiba.

 

[jvirk]

not impressed at all..i think u girls have alottt of potential but u really need to execute..
singer was good..but too soft in my opinion

giddha segment is a "no no" to me b/c if ur a bhangra team then stick to all out bhangra..giddha takes away from it

stick to all bhangra and bring the energy up to the highest level u possibly can and u shud be good for future comps
