Bhangra is the traditional folk dance that originates from the Punjab which encompasses the North of India and Pakistan. Also known as the ‘Land of Five Rivers’, Bhangra is an eye-catching and energetic dance that was born during the times of the harvest season. Regarded as one of the oldest dances in the world, Bhangra is performed at virtually every Asian entertainment event by old and young alike!

Also performed during the ‘Visakhi’ festival (celebrating the harvest when the sight of tall heaps of golden wheat fill the farmer’s heart with joy), the Bhangra dancers are usually accompanied by a dhol player (the large barrel shape, two-sided drum). The dancers wear bright colourful clothes

Our dancers perform bare foot, and a typical performance can last from 20 to 30 minutes depending on the occasion. The team consists of between 4 and 8 dancers and a dhol player, depending on the type of performance and function it is.
