The Dance

Bhangra is a traditional folk dance that originates from the Northern part of India, Punjab. Though Bhangra began as a way to celebrate harvests, it has evolved to being a way of celebrating many diverse occasions and festivities. In recent years, Bhangra has enjoyed a spike in popularity worldwide, and though it has come far from its initial humble beginnings, it has really left a mark on many Western countries, as they try to incorporate their own flavor to it. Bhangra is embraced in its traditional form, but also in a new form that encompasses a fusion with different musical and dance style genres, such as hip hop and R&B.

Our Teams

The Legacy

One of the great things about Bhangra is how much it has infiltrated today's society. People's love, interest and passion for it worldwide has led the community to come together in the form of an international circuit of competitions. The circuit provides opportunities for teams from all over the world to come and compete with each other for trophies, and prize money. What separates Bhangra in the Burgh from the rest of the competitions in this circuit, is that we are one of the premier competitions in the Fall. We strive to maintain a good balance between collegiate and independent teams, while also keeping our overarching goal of supporting a selected charity.
