How do you rationalize to yourself and others the amount of time you spend on practice, competitions, watching videos and just generally thinking about bhangra? Friends/ family/ significant others, anyone who doesn't do bhangra might think the time (and also $$$) investment just isn't worth it.
For me personally, Bhangra is not in my culture and i'm not trying to pursue a dance studio career ( dreams though, am I right?) In my case, there is no concrete success or monetary value that comes from my work.
But it genuinely makes me happy. Using my body as a tool to do something I love and have worked hard on for years is so gratifying. So, *Kanye shrug + "it makes me happy" has been my excuse to those who have questioned my commitment over the years.
Whats yours?
