Boston Bhangra, Inc
Boston Bhangra, Inc is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting cultural awareness and mentorship for children. We do this through a dance/music form called Bhangra. Bhangra is traditionally an energetic, upbeat folk dance from the state of Punjab in India. It has come a long way since it’s origins, and our goal is to help preserve and nurture it in North America!
Some of the ways we do this are:
-
Teaching Bhangra classes weekly
-
Maintaining a Boston Bhangra seniors team
-
Maintaining a Boston Bhangra juniors team
-
Doing performances throughout North America
-
Hosting the world renowned Boston Bhangra Competition
-
Hosting and collaborating with other organizers that promote the rich south asian culture
-
Being a resource for anybody that wants to learn about Bhangra or needs anything
Bhangra related, including costumes, props, Bhangra artist info, or wants us to help
with a Bhangra event
As our membership grows, and more people get involved with Boston Bhangra, Inc, we see an endless number of possibilities in the future. We want to bring a sense of belonging through the education of commonality and help individuals continue moving forward without losing ties to their pasts and their heritage. In short, Boston Bhangra wants to help preserve culture and, of course, bring Bhangra to Boston!
