ok a few things
At 0:57ish the chikka rolls weren't smooth it threw off that segment-- (its ok I can't do those too well either yet) but i think if your feet are just kicked back rather than outish it should work for u guys

Then like 1:04-1:06ish that like clap turn thing...I didnt like how it was like a clap waste a beat and turn
1:08...so instead maybe try using the whole entire 4 beat count b/c it looked to graceful skippy, rather than fierce

then that move after that tell your guys to get into a proper squat then do the move, and try not pickin your foot up too much and make it look like a string is kinda pulling you forward

And I think wat stuck out to me the most is the footwork. You were constantly switching (for example, it'd be high knees and then you'd emphasize placing your feet down) which really screws you up if your moving around, and it takes too much effort to memorize and make that sorta stuff perfect

And then the chikka segment I didnt really like how their was an opposite effect sorta mirror thing i dont kno how to explain it.....like 1 guy would do khich on his left leg and the other on his right....I think if you all just did everything the same way it would look cleaner rather than trying to execute so much with a person

I likedd the swerve thing that the guys and girls did-looked complicated but nice

Also, try to get your girls to shorten their suits by like 2-3 inches because they made them look extremely small and not strong

Judges should be 100% objective, but that is impossible. The best judges are those that make no false-pretenses about who they are and how they will judge. Pashi and Atinder are examples.

Judge of the Year (on the east coast) Pashi Singh Malik...hands down...can I get an Amen?
Amen! Pashi seriously is the man when it comes to judging. Although he judged my team once, that still reverberates today. He judged at Desi Dhamaka (along with Atinder, Ben...and can't remember the other guy), but Pashi came off very knowledgeable and knew what he was talking about. After talking with him, i can agree with where they came from and how they judged. Hell, I even talked to Pashi again at Bash about the judging from the week prior, and he was more than willing to answer my questions. Judges do their thing, and the rubric is a basis for some judge's decisions.

Pashi was a great guy to judge with, good eye for details and obviously knows his stuff. A+++ would judge again

kinnell, i modded my own post to remove hearsay. i apologize for bringing in things that i did not witness/hear firsthand, and should know better than that.
