Happy New Year!
Top 5 Critiques I Do Not Want to Repeat in 2015
# 5. If you’re going to use katos, actually use them. They should be played (tug the string on beat and make the mouth/tail move), moved around while you dance, and made eye contact with.
# 4. Use your modhey (bounce your shoulders) - especially in jugni. Do not rush jugni and do not make dancers move very far, if at all. Also, in slow khunda segments.
# 3. Open up your arms. Stretch out! Extend. Arms should never be at a 90 degree angle.
# 2. Change up the pace, mix up the speed and style of your set. Take your audience on a roller coaster ride with variation in tempo.
# 1. Think outside the box!
Thought it'd be a nice time to reflect on the past year of performances. For new teams, #1 would be slow down! Comment any other general critiques so the circuit can keep improving
