What is Bhangra?
Bhangra is the traditional dance of Punjab that comes from a history of Punjabi-Sikh farmers using different aspects of farming to create a dance form. This farming-influenced style of dance celebrates food-growing, harvesting and relationship to the land, which they called Bhangra. Check out Gurdeep’s videos here!
