Life of a Bhangra Dancer

[jasmine[lbc]]

Hi BTF!
I have officially started a blog about bhangra! Basically, the blog will contain some of my experience/history with the competitive scene as well as my commentary on some of the debates going on today (and hopefully some guest commentary from other people going forward). The first couple posts give a little more context on why I started the blog, etc. I would LOVE if you all would read, comment, and spread the word!

Hope you enjoy!

Jasmine you are awesome, definitely lookin forward to reading your blogs.

Definitely interested in your perspective on issues in the circuit

I swear I thought about doing this about 50 times, but from the "white-boy" perspective... but I just got lazy.

Now that I'm captain of a team, and thus my views on everything have changed, maybe I'll start a complementary blog.

Look foward to reading your blog posts Jasmine. Please keep us updated on the progress of your blog site, since it's so hard these days to keep up with everything going on inside the bhangra world and outside of it.

P.S. - In your April 1st blog you wrote "For now, I hope it suffices to say that bhangra is a traditional folk dance from the North Western region of India." What about Pakistan?? hater! hehe, jk.
