Thanks for posting this Saleem! I was offline all evening (bad timing!)

Can't thank my friend at ESPN, Tara Baker, enough for putting this together, and to all the lovely ladies (and man!) who joined me to do this so last minute. We had an amazing time, and I've never been happier to see bhangra exposed at such a high level.

Here were the dancers from teams all over the NYC area:
Dheerja Kaur (SMD)
Kathryn Wright (Yale Bhangra)
Keerthi Shetty (Yale Bhangra)
Alex Woodward (Columbia Bhangra)
Heema Sharma (Columbia Bhangra)
Aditi Nim (SMD)
Sohini Sircar (SMD)
Sunanda Nath (Cornell Bhangra/5AB)
Aneesh Sahni (Princeton Bhangra)

Haha Harman the commercial does seem kind of random, but it was actually part of a larger shoot they did across NYC. They had promos featuring hip-hop dancers, yoga, street artists, kids running through times square with flags, etc. - all part of a larger effort to show the diversity and culture of NYC, since the city itself is so integral to the US Open. They're showing them throughout the US Open as a series of promos.

big ups SMD this is awesome!

 

[Sue Sylvester]

Reminds me of the old school B4U commercials on the channel where they would find seemingly random ways to integrate their brand.


Videography is so dope - this is definitely one of my new favorite videos of bhangra!
