Bhangra is a folk dance from the state of Punjab and parts of Pakistan. It is a very energetic and fun dance to watch. It has been compared to a fusion of hip hop and cheerleading with a cultural twist. It has been integrated into many hip hop/reggae songs, and is one of the most upcoming foreign dance forms in the world!
We will also have special guest performances by Bhangra legend Balvir Boparai from the US! He is the one of the biggest male Bhangra artists from Canada! He has sung/written mega hit songs like: De Le Gera, Saal Solva, Velli Yaar, Kali Kite Mil, Dil Nach Da, Alaraan Kuaariyan, Paghan Pochiyan, Chharate and MANY MORE!
This show will be advertised nationally via television, newspaper, radio, in stores and the internet making it the largest south asian promoted event in the northeast!
