Bhangra

Members of SU's co-ed Bhangra team share their motivations for dancing and maintaining the Punjab tradition.

Bhangra is a traditional style of dance from the Punjab region of northern India. It is very energetic and happy because it originally was a dance of farmers to celebrate the harvest. A Bhangra performance lasts about seven or eight minutes, and the dancers are exhausted by the end.
