Come on brah..make it look more legit than that. Title is lower letters and sentences are whatever. Houston committe can post better than that on BTF

After a long time, Houston will be hosting a Bhangra competetion. If I am not mistaken I think NJ, FL, SA, Austin, Washington CS, Nishani and about 8 teams are performing there.

Thanks for the update Sajan.


Surprised that Alamo City Bhangra (ACB) isn't part of this lineup. I was hoping this to be a battle of all the Texas teams at least, since there hasn't been one comp where they have all been present.

Btw, is that Rupinder Sandu (the gidha dancer) judging whose originally from the Dallas area? If so, oh boyy... at least they got Ricky out to judge - I'm hoping that is him from BK/Virse. I was hoping for more a little information given on the judges, especially with their experience on bhangra and the circuit. Did they give the teams anything else besides names?

Good luck to all the teams competing.

I was expecting an intense lineup (doesn't seem like it though), but they only got 5 teams to compete? Chalo.. good luck to the teams.

For sure!


Yeah, I think it is her, the bio says that she has a love for bhangra and gidha - and same for Ricky (being on Virse/BK). The committee sent a resume/bio for each judge - I think it's the same thing the judges sent the committee when they were applying for being a judge for the comp. I can post it if you guys want, but it's more of a experience/resume than a short bio (why I think it's what they sent for applying to be a judge).

Yeah, I thought there were going to be 8 or 10 teams performing.
