The Art of Bhangra

Bhangra is a lively form of music and dance that originated in the Punjab region in Southeast Asia. As many Bhangra lyrics reflect the long and often tumultuous history of the Punjab, knowledge of Punjabi history offers important insights into the meaning of the music.

While Bhangra began as a part of harvest festival celebrations, it eventually became a part of such diverse occasions as weddings and New Year celebrations. Moreover, during the last thirty years, Bhangra has enjoyed a surge in popularity worldwide, both in traditional form and as a fusion with genres such as hip-hop, house, and reggae. As Bhangra continues to move into mainstream culture, an understanding of its history and tradition helps to appreciate it.

This Bhangra Academy has given me the opportunity to learn my culture in depth. Before joining, I knew a little bit about Bhangra and was unaware of certain things. But now, I’m able to learn new steps and moves and then show my family and friends at the shows that we have. The best part is that I get to be with my friends while doing Bhangra and there’s no greater feeling than that. They help me learn and have fun. Class is never a struggle and it’s always enjoyable with the fun days like Halloween day where we got to dress up in our costumes. Moreover, Bhangra is a fun way to connect to our tradition and continue it. This Academy has given me the opportunity to learn new things and experience Bhangra like never before.

This Academy is a place to spread culture and acknowledge furthermore about our roots. Every student may be doing sports and other type of activities but they don’t touch base on what their culture is all about. Rangla Punjab Academy is a friendly and patient atmosphere to let your loved ones experience what their ancestors have done.

This Academy is such a great warm environment. Everyone is so nice and Sukhvir Bhaji, our coach, is very dedicated and hardworking. He handles the academy with a great passion. He has a desire to spread punjabi culture and bhangra skills to everyone. We also are introduced to different forms of music and it’s so much fun to dance to these songs. It’s a fun and exciting experience overall 🙂
