This interactive Culture Days event will begin with a short introduction to Bhangra, including its connection to Punjabi heritage, music, farming traditions, celebration, and community identity.
Participants will then take part in a beginner-friendly Bhangra workshop led by Komal Sandhu Bhangra Instructor at Folk Star Arts Academy Society, Gurman Singh Birdi (Punjabi Folk Singer) and Rohit Sharma Instrument (Dhol) player, where they will learn basic steps, arm movements, rhythm, and simple choreography. No dance experience is required, and all ages and backgrounds are welcome to participate.
