Bhangra Camp ftw?

[Temurzai]

So I duno if this has been brought up in the past, im gona assume it hasnt..

im sure many of you might have gone to camps as kids for watever it might have been.. im a camp counselor for an iranian-american leadership camp for highschoolers, and this year it was in atlanta, and while i was there i thought wat if the bhangra community organized a camp for bhangra, i mean the camp i was at was specifically for leadership and building strong connections within the iranian diaspora here in the united states/canada and abroad.

wat if there was a bhangra camp for like....bhangra haha.

ideas that ran through my head included the following;

- inviting dhol ustads / judges on the circuit for lectures and workshops
- history and evolution of bhangra
- dancers from all over the usa and canada
- all ages?
- dhol lessons
- boli sessions / lyrics explained! (for those of us that dont speak punjabi haha)
- talent show at camp
- kids divided into groups randomly with a pair of counselors for each group (great way to meet everyone)

itd be great for the general spread of knowledge and would help out everyone in some form or another. everyone could use it, and everyone would love to come im sure. great for building a strong united community that is pretty passionate about bhangra as it is.

im just 'thinking out loud' if u will haha

camp ftw?

That would actually be sick!! there is enough people in USA to get a good 500 kids in my opinion....i think this is actually very possible and someone or an origination should do it...if each kid payed 50 bills for the month thats 10,000 to help pay for the stay, food, people..

i can see Nachdi doing this

This is a great idea. I can see this happening in the near future. And I would be SOOOOO there.

at our academies we run sort of a summer bhangra camp aswell. alot of parents need a place to keep their kids their during the day so we offer a punjabi bhangra camp. in the morning you start off with bhangra classes, then punjabi class, and then an art class. its good way to keep the kids occupied

I wish i was raised in Tronto now...what am I doing in Boston...what were my parents thinking?!

 

[Havish]

sick idea... would be tight to have a huge camp to bring all the teams together, that would be mad fun

 

[kamdeol]

this is probably the best thing i have ever heard of, i would def be there! maybe not a whole month, but maybe a week or two crash course in bhangra haha but it would be so awesome, and stress free way to hang out with so many team people, as well as meet and help out the younger generation.

 

[Sam Brar]

that would be sweet

 

[Temurzai]

i dont think 1 month is possible. no one has that kind of time or money. and you dont need to do it for one month, i would say more like a week or fortnight max

 

[Mukandpuria]

so Taiymur...you going to start it *all eyes on Taiymur*

 

[Temurzai]

[Gurvir]
