Pushpit Thohan (boss dancer and even more boss human being) is down in Charlotte and runs NCMPAA - hit him up!

you guys show bhangra and the culture a huge amount of respect by the amount of effort you put into not only practicing hard at the dance, but taking time to learn about the language and meaning behind it as a whole. I also think it is great that while doing so, you are using it as a platform to...

you would have won if I danced

@Carolina Indian Arts

yeah, we were pretty disappointed that one of the first things people said when we asked them what they thought of the performance was "those ads were so distracting" - we definitely didn't plan for any projector gimmicks in this competition (though in the past I really did think of selling ad...

Immense congratulations to a very well-deserving team. Some thoughts listed below (haphazardly in no particular order, just as they come to me): The fact that you guys pulled off the formations you did with one team practice (and not having a core group of people in one place who could meet...

Kiddaan BTF! On behalf of Carolina Indian Arts and the many Phoolz of Khirre Phul Gulab De, I present you our performance from Boston Bhangra Competition 2017 - where we had the honor and joy of presenting a classic Punjabi folk tale, Heer-Ranjha. As you’ll be able to tell, this performance is...

great job cornell! its obvious you guys have put in work to change your style up and train a bunch of new dancers - always a struggle for collegiate teams, especially when you are competing so soon after the academic year begins. i think your set had alot of interesting drops and pleasing...

you guys are always awesome to watch and know how to really impact an audience. mad props for competing so often as well, especially pulling things off like coming to Boston with 8 girls and 4 guys, etc. The fact that your team is willing to do things like that and give dancers the opportunity...

I would love to see Top Naach do this - they definitely have the talent and brains behind the operation to do so

I don't think by any means Bhangra Funk and BollyShake are promoting trash - it is their own interpretations of the art form, and they are still doing the community a service by making bhangra more mainstream and getting more people interested in it. If we want the masses to see more bhangra...

awesome to see people express the art form in creative ways - looking forward to seeing Top Naach continue to do cool shit
