I was never into bhangra, my dad did bhangra in his college days, and my mom loved to sing while in college. When I was 5, I was actually put in kathak and continued in learning the classical dance for 14 years, I am actually still learning. But as soon as I went to college, my mom told me to try out for the bhangra and giddha team, so I could be involved with my culture a little more. So, I tried out, and found out that I have always been a closeted punjabi just waiting to come out! LoL. Now even in kathak class, my didi is like "STOP shaking your shoulders...Don't be so stiff with you hands, be more graceful! WHY are you locking your knees!!!!!!"

LoL. Gotta love bhangra as well as giddha...haha.

Bhindrakia boliyan, with rarke rarke, an bas kar an all that in it, i still remember, i use to live in an area with almost NO brown ppl, so at my school show in grade 6 i thought i was the best and did a bhangra performance, i thought i was the best in the world lol, made my own moves on stage lol, then i moved the brampton and saw sgpd and wanted to dance like them but didnt think i would be on the team, and now umm yeaaaaa ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

[kamdeol]

a combination of seeing ZeeBhangra comp and always hearing about blowout when i was in highschool inspired me and my friends to get together for local desi shows/comps, and then college came around and ive been a lost cause in doing anything besides bhangra since then lol

U Mich, the year they did the switch vests gimmick and began with that Jazzy B song Bach Bach Ke. My favorite performance. If any one has the video of them please send it to me. Been looking for it.

KJ-of course at Zee competition

TRB-since I got the practice video of them at the Hindu/Jain temple. Been a fan since.
