WHAT TO DO?

[fanbindrakhiyeda]

Hello BTF,


I would like to ask the veterans a question, because this can very well happen at a real competition. I was watching this performance, and there was a malfunction in the middle. So here's the question, when a pagg comes off in the middle of the performance, you're supposed to respectfully put it away, but what if something like what happened to this one girl at 2:00 mins, second girl from the right, during this performance (btw its a sick set, please watch the whole thing) happens at a real competition?? what would you do then?

Wow, that's got to be one of the worst nightmares for a female dancer!


I would do as mr chicity suggested and run to the side of the stage & get the bottom piece back on ASAP. Dancing with the leggings is a huge distraction. It's not simply like a kanta or phuman came loose & fell.


Imo, teams should have small "emergency repair" kits that they leave on the side of the stage in case something like this were to ever happen, especially at a competition. Even having an extra elastic band, safety pins/safety clips, rubber bands, etc would help a lot in case something goes wrong all of a sudden.
