The
history of Bhangra can be traced back to the early 16th century,
when the farmers of Punjab used Bhangra to celebrate the annual
harvest festival called ‘Vaisakhi’.
Bhangra is a fast and exhilarating dance that utilises live musical
accompaniment including traditional folk songs and drumming from
the ‘Dhol’. The choreography reflects the daily activities
of the farmers at work and the celebrations at harvest time.
Bhangra as a dance form, has travelled the world.

Dance is a universal language and can
be understood and appreciated by all. It unites people regardless
of colour, creed or class. With this in mind, it is the pleasure
of Nachda Sansaar to keep the art of traditional Bhangra alive.
