Here is our video from this past weekend at BIB 6. We would like to thank the BIB committee for running a great competition. Our team felt very welcome and had a lot of fun at the competition! We would also like to congratulate Cal, Cornell, and TAG for their well deserved placings. Shout out to Anooj Trivedi for making our mix!

great job guys i see lots of potential. push the originality a bit more, and also to be a top tier collegiate team you have to be really clean. you guys were pretty clean but you gotta take it to another level to match cal, unc, vcu

Wow, definitely LOTS of respect for this set. Kept it straight traditional which I loved. Although any team can improve in cleanliness, you guys are actually not very far from the standard Cal set with their routine. I think what put them, cornell, and tag over you guys is probably originality like someone mentioned. As much as I enjoyed this routine, and this is just my speculation, I think the formations and variations in moves are the major factors for discrepancies, because your team has the energy, talent, cleanliness, and stage presence.

I was a huge fan of you guys since you surprised me last season with your blowout routine, so I hope to see you guys at other comps as well! Best of luck!

P.S. - "Heads Will Roll" dhamaal with the spins was awesome!

wow. great ideas in this set. the mirza/dhammal segment was sick. super clean and the "live" (where was the dholi/singer?) jhummer was a solid interlude to the rest of the music set. loved the vardi colors as well. def placeworthy but seems like every team brought it hard to burgh this yr

I'm gonna be straight with my critique, this team had some of the best dancers at Burgh, period. In my opinion I don't think it was a lack of cleanliness that prevented you guys from placing, but the overall flow of the set. I thought the live segment was neat but I didnt think it really fit well into the performance. Its obvious that you're team appreciates the essence of dancing live (I noticed it last year at Blowout as well), but I don't think you should combine the two styles into a "half and half" set.


- I enjoyed the song selection, I think it was on point for the most part.
- as people mentioned earlier, the boli was the best of the night
- intro hit hard, real hard. I remember the feeling of watching it live, the energy you guys displayed off the get go was amazing.
- the sit down at 2:07 kind of ruined the flow of the saap segment for me
- the concept for khunde was sick and original, although I didn't like the way "Dil Lagee" was mixed. a couple of segments were looped way too many times which I think altered the overall impact of the song
- the very ending segment (like last couple counts) was kind of weak
- all your dancers are on the same skill level which is great, your boys ripped and your girls more than kept up which made them look really powerful. only thing Ide say to the girls is to make sure you maintain your saap extension on every move


Overall I'd say thats pretty much it for general critiques (which are all opinionated), Im sure you guys have already picked out small mistakes on form/energy or what not.


I personally loved how traditional/folk this set was, and it a great pleasure talking to you guys on stage after the show. Keep ripping it and forget talks about potential, you guys are already there. Cant wait to compete against you guys again.
