Nice thoughts buddy.. I agree to almost all of the points that you have stated. I would just like to add something. Bhangra has risen from just being a folk dance of Punjab. It now enjoys an International reputation. But, the truth is that if we let the foundations loose, the building will...
Khunda originally was used in Punjab and other places too as a defensive weapon. It is one of the traditional weapons of Punjab (as Samurai is linked to Japan). As Bhangra is also a traditional folk dance of Punjab showcasing Punjabi culture and tradition, like many other things, Khunda was one...
Hi.. I don't know which part of your foot you have the pain, but if it is below the ankle area, probably it is due to not warming up properly before practice. I would suggest you to warm up and stretch enough before practice, and now that you are experiencing pain, be cautious about how you...

I personally think that "Grace" as such bears no definition, but when you can involve the audience into your dance, that is where Grace actually starts from. Utmost practice and passion bring that in the dance. When you have practiced so much that you can dance the whole set 5 times in a...
I don't know from where is that sound coming from.. In the video, a man holding Tumbi is visible, but definitely, it is the sound of "Bugchu". And Meistro Veere, Dhadd is not allowed in Folk Bhangra.. It is not considered to be a folk instrument.. It is more associated with "Vaar Singing".
