Hey everyone,
We've been holding summer bhangra classes for high-school and middle-school age students at Case Western Reserve University's campus in Cleveland, Ohio. The classes are held once a week for now, but we're open to having them multiple times weekly if there is interest! I currently...
Hey everyone,
Here are Spartan Bhangra’s videos from 2016-17! We competed at Got Bhangra Competition, Boston Bhangra Competition, Buckeye Mela, Nachde Nashville (Third Place), and Bhangra on the Rocks (First Place). Performing on these stages was amazing, and pushing the boundaries of our...
Hey everyone,
For the past few seasons my mom and I have been making our fumman/phumman (for Spartan Bhangra) from scratch so that we could customize them, replace broken/missing fumman, and save some money. Recently, we've been contacted by a few teams to make new sets of fumman and replace...
Our team is looking to start requesting sponsorships from local businesses (and probably some bigger businesses eventually), and we were wondering if anyone had any experience doing this with their teams? More specifically, we're trying to figure out what dollar amounts to set the relative...

Hey everyone,
Spartan Bhangra is selling a set of 14 old saaps, initially purchased from India and in great shape (only used for a year, well taken care of, no spray paint/excess grease/etc.). Please send me a PM if you want any more information/pictures or are interested in buying them! We'll...
Hey everyone,
My name is Raghav, and I’m one of the captains of Spartan Bhangra, a Cleveland-based co-ed Bhangra team at Case Western Reserve University. We perform very frequently throughout the Northeast Ohio region (e.g. weddings, gigs, melas, teaching Bhangra workshops for the community...
Hey everyone,
Below are Spartan Bhangra’s videos from this past semester! It’s really been an honor for us to meet and compete with so many other great teams. We’ve had an amazing time training our team of primarily first-time dancers, and have consistently received amazing critiques from...
Hey,
Is anyone either selling algozey or know of a good place to buy them? I can't really find anywhere to purchase them that isn't in bulk haha. If anyone is selling them, I can either pay for shipping or pick them up anywhere in the Pacific Northwest, Cleveland/Chicago area, or San Diego/LA...
First off, I’d like to thank everyone involved in putting on ECD for a great weekend. Special thanks to the other teams for being great both on and off stage! We had an excellent time, and would love to come back next year.
Secondly, I’d like to offer a disclaimer for this review—this...

Hey,
I'm from Spartan Bhangra at Case Western Reserve University (Cleveland, OH). We are looking to purchase six new boys and girls vardiyan (any colors, as long as they match)--it's okay if the fumman and/or pattis for the pagha are missing, as we can make those. Please PM me or email me at...

Hey everyone,
At competitions this Fall and last Spring, our team was told many times that we should get new paghs, new vardiyan, and possibly accessories (fumman, parandhis, etc.). Where do teams generally purchase this stuff, and are there any vendors you guys recommend/have experience with...
