Bhangra originates as a folk dance performed by farmers. It commemorated the beginning of spring and marked the birth of the new harvest. Bhangra welcomed in a new beginning, a means for farmers and the common people of Northern India to celebrate the new season. Today, Bhangra survives in different forms and styles all over the globe. In fact, Bhangra has been hailed as one of the world’s fastest growing dance and musical arts. Bhangra is celebrated everywhere by people of all ages and races – from radio, to pop music, and now even as a local dance class for you to enjoy! As Bhangra continues to ingrain itself into mainstream culture, we strive to maintain its traditonality while at the same time embracing its evolution as an art form.

This session is intended for Faculty of Arts and Humanities Students
