One of the best teams of all time

UBC GIRLZ!!!!.. about 4 years back they were the the best team in North America and were the ones to beat with about 16 trophies under their belt, with up to 6 of them being collected in one bhangra season. And today with the majority of the team in their late 20's- early 30's with a few married, makes them an inspiration, to see them still dancing and taking bhangra to new levels with performances at the Olympics among many othesr.

I thank them for paving the road for all girls bhangra teams today and showing the bhangra commuity that girls can do bhangra and should not have a bias placed on them because of their gender!

Here is a performance from this weekend at the Vancouver Diwali Festival

So much respect, these girls paved the way for all girls teams. It's also inspiring to see that they're still dancing and promoting bhangra. Thanks for posting this!

Yeaah I remember years ago when they were a team everyone watched, looked up to and looked out for! UBC girls were pioneers of girls bhangra. Props to them for still dancing, would be nice to see them compete again.

imagine a co-ed team of ubc girlz and nacdi jawani, that would be EPIC!!!
NJ has their own girl's team, so why would they want to team up with the UBC Girlz (who doesn't compete any longer)?

Anyway, sickk performance from the veterans! Much respect to these girls for paving the way of female's in bhangra. UBC Girlz <3
