  • Beautiful shooting, it's great to see a pod on this!

  • The pod needed a certain amount of grounding. I didn't feel rooted at all, I didn't know where these dancers came from, what the history of the dance was, where they are now (aside from the description), what they plan to do later--tour, continue studies--, and what the dance looked like.

    Watch the pod on the uganda dance team that travels and raises money for the aids epidemic.

  • I guess I was a little too harsh. I watched it again and appreciated the video more the second time around.

    It's art, the dancers love doing it, life is better for them because of it, and the world is a more dynamic place.

  • This was really cool. I remember going to the gym in college and I would see huge groups practicing Bhangra and I always wanted to join in.

  • Very cool. You are not just dancing you are preserving your own tradition and culture. Don't loose it!
