My mom told me today that dancing won’t get me anywhere. I told her thats not true cause it’s taken me to Texas, Michigan, Iowa, and Indiana. She then proceeded to whack me with a rolling pin.
GT Bhangra, GT Pulse, GT Ramblin Raas, and GT Qurbani made Blowout, Origins, RAS, and BA before they all got cancelled. Georgia Tech out here killing the game
Can teams use South Indian songs for more than just a special South Indian segment or a kuthu segment? There are so many valid songs that teams can use for so many other segments. As a plus, mixes in this circuit would sound more unique, more fresh, and have less of the same
After a lot of thought, we have decided to shut down DDN Confessions, recent confessions have cast more of a negative emphasis on the circuit than we had intended for, and therefore we feel this is the best step for the circuit as a whole moving forward.
Can someone tell me why some of these DJs are so fucking functional? Like they balanced being a dancer on a team, creating mixes + and the whole damn theme, then found a way to do it during med school/PhD/some other doctorate??? I mean what the actual fuck I'm barely maintaining
Not dance related but can we do something about the use of the n word by brown people? Like we have a whole other language yet we chose to use the one word that we shouldn’t be
If ur not black, don’t say the n word, brown ppl stay trying to use a lame ass excuse to use the word. It’s not ur place to decide whether or not it’s acceptable to use because it never is. -fellow brown girl
HELLO MEN!! PLEASE DON’T GRAB, TOUCH, OR GRIND ON GIRLS WITHOUT THEIR PERMISSION AT AFTER PARTIES. SOME OF YOU NEED TO LEARN TO RESPECT A WOMEN’S DECISION.
Bro.. South Indians get Hindi shoved down their throats where ever they go. Like this circuit was almost exclusively Bollywood until like 5 years ago. Tamil people never tried to force us to speak their language and identify with their culture like North Indians do with Hindi and
Chalak and Sharara finally merged? Props to them for putting their differences aside and coming together. We need to see more teams with this type of sportsmanship in the circuit. Best of luck to UTD LAKSH for the upcoming year!
don’t call DJ Anupya the female Srimix. she’s incredible and doesn’t deserve to be compared to some male “standard”. that’s some sexist BS right there.
Whoever said that uc dhadak tries too hard to be indian can gtf. They’re a BOLLYWOOD FUSION dance team what the f*** else are they supposed to do?? They appreciate our culture, whats wrong with that?? you people are ridiculous. UC Dhadak, keep thriving🤩 yall stay killing it!
I think Buckeye Fusion placing at Legends is a game changer. They have initiated change in the dance circuit and allowed for more empowerment and inspiration of all-female dance teams. Seeing such a great group of girls work endlessly to achieve this goal is inspiring and I can’t

all yall people be hating on my boy Dr. Mr. Dr. Dr. Srimix, but that mans will be the only dude consistently helping everyone he can in the circuit. Love you ya giant
Even though Raftaar got 2nd, I think what they did on that stage was truly amazing. I really hope they keep pushing the envelope and maybe other teams will step out of their comfort zones as well.
idk what team would actually have the guts to do it but picture an entirely south indian set w lyrical filmy kuthu hip hop the whole shebang a bang but only south indian songs someone make it happen
It’s Mental Awareness Month, with that being said please know that ITS OKAY NOT TO BE OKAY! If you are feeling stuck and alone, just know there are people rooting for you and love you. Ask for help and know that IT WILL GET BETTER. Hold on tight and fight through it because

Congrats to all who competed!
So thankful for my team for being my second family at college. Truly blessed to have people that make the smallest moments filled with so much happiness.
I hope people take the time to watch UC Dhadak's TED Talk. They actually put in the effort to learn and showcase every dance style respectfully. @ the people poke fun/make a tiktok about them not being a 'brown' team, they sure as heck will out dance you in bhangra, classical,
Vijay Rana literally said that he posted on DDN because he wanted to erase stigma in the brown community towards sexual assault. For actual progress to be made, uncomfortable topics need to be discussed.

ok just saying... just because you don’t understand classical or have the appreciation for it (bc you don’t fckin understand it) doesn't mean you have the right to just bash on it. you like fusion, fine stick to fusion or any other dance form. let’s just take a second to
It would be greatly appreciated if the N word was taken out of the vocabulary of the people in this circuit and cleaned out of mixes. People are way too comfortable and it's disrespectful. Having a black friend or hearing it in a song does not justify saying it. Thanks.
Please stop thirst trapping over guys in this circuit just because they are men in dance. There are girls on Buckeye Fusion that can hit hip hop better than any of Genesis, contemp and femme better than Milan Patel, and bhangra better than anyone lol chill tf out and keep your
If you have been convicted or accused accurately of sexual assault, and are THEN TAKEN ONTO A DANCE TEAM, your captains and team must have no respect for themselves. Putting others are risk like that is ridiculous. Sexual assaults should be kicked off and reported immediately
Dhadak has the sweetest people & all I want to say is that you guys deserved better at legends & Im sorry the circuit treats you dirty as soon as it comes to placings & being diverse.
UC Dhadak is the most underrated team. The best Avatar this yr and they r really abt to hit y'all outta no where They r so talented original and kind tf
To all the girlfriends, boyfriends, and best friends who come out and support us during comps, practices, and gigs....THANK YOU!! We know we show you too many practice videos and make you go insane with listening to the same mix over and over again
I quit my team bc dancers are some of the most narcissistic, cliquish, elitist people I’ve ever met. Guys you’re on a college dance team not saviors of humanity get off your high horse.
As a high schooler who watches circuit videos for inspiration and for fun, thanks to all y’all teams who come up with amazing and creative choreo with music that bops!! Watching all those videos has honestly made us want to be part of the circuit when we come to college and
tufaan really did something special with the girls from shanti bhavan. despite the hype of the show and the amazing performances, shree and visali made the whole experience meaningful and heart-warming. their stories were so powerful and touching. this is why we dance.
I wish the circuit took South Indian as serious as they take Bhangra. South is so overlooked and some teams be using it as another bollywood segment. Props to all the teams with a real south segment cuz y’all look hype af
What’s up with all these posts and comments about teams not deserving of their rightfully earned places because of “boring costumes” and lack of production and props. Not all teams are afforded equal funds from their schools to run their comp seasons! In fact some schools barely
