[Chidiya]

If a female, thou shall not get on stage without wearing a chunni first

is it okay if its simply sitting on your head? and not around the shoulders?

if wearing a vest like ubc girlz it works, if not vest and plain suit, over the shoulders is the way to go

 

[Mukandpuria]

Thou shall not jack a teams mix and use it for a gig

 

[Nikhil]

Thou shalt not affiliate BTF (the OFFICIAL forum board for Bhangra) with any other forumboard claiming to be the place for discussion of Bhangra, at a competition, exhibition or place of Bhangra.

Thou shalt not start drama outside of posting on BTF.

Thou shalt not create false accusations of any individual, team or organization on BTF.

If you're doing it for like a wedding reception and you get the team's approval theirs nothing wrong with that. I remember one summer we compiled our favorite SHer, LBC, KJ, and SoorMay routines into one mix and did that at receptions all summer. It was fun.

[Sher]

though shall not go on stage without a pagh

thou shall not bring out a kid as a gimmick as it has been done too many times

 

[Jeeti]

Thou shalt always support fellow competing teams...yelll as much as possible...

theres nothing like the sound of hearing someone in the crowd bakhre when you are on stage...has to be one of the best feelings...

which is why I love when competitions put competing teams close to the stage...makes for a great situation.

Tho shalt not kill time during the stage rehearsal

Thou shalt show off them pearly whites (hopefully they are white) for the entirety of the performance ;D

What I mean from "do not smile like a retard" is do not keep a monotonous smile for the whole dance - that gets boring - I think it's better to show EXPRESSIONS - more than just a smile.

For example, moving your eyebrows, shouting lalkaaran, doing different types of smiles if you know what I mean (closed mouth sometimes, sometimes showing teeth) - showing expressions of joy can be different, it's not all just one constant unchanging smile which starts to get boring...ya dig?

Like when you look out to the audience out of the corner of your eye - it's better to make an inviting expression, or a playful one - a peaceful smile doesn't always do justice.

Or when you are looking at your partner - a more flirtatious (for girls) or a brotherly look (a look of camaraderie, for guys) is more appropriate - to induce chemistry!

Thou Shall be folk

I was talking in the lines of people who don't ask the teams..there are plenty bhangra videos online that random kids jacked the mix and use the same chreo...but if you have permission or know the person the team then i don't see any problem...my bad should have been more clear

 

[Shahrukh]

thou shal not call out your jori on btf for selfpumping when he is not selfpumping LOL

thou shal not call for a fake bhangra practice and make someone miss class for no reason (JAP!!!!!!!!!!)

thou shal not use POL ever again

 

[Jeeti]
