History of UK Competitive Bhangra Scene

[Sonika Sethi]

Hi all!
I've been working on a project for an award winning British Asian lifestyle magazine, Desiblitz, about the history of the UK competitive Bhangra scene.

This came from my own interest in exploring its 10 year history and was fortunate to have over 15 notable captains, dancers and organisers involved with this. A huge credit goes to them all for helping me out with this!

The 3 part articles will be releasing over time - this is part 1 - https://www.desiblitz.com/content/history-of-competitive-uk-bhangra-the-beginning

Part 2 -

Part 3 -

Enjoy reading and would love to get your insights on it!

Look forward to reading through this when I get some free time.
