As a result of partnering with the UW Indian Students Association for the top Indian restaurants in Seattle, they offered us two VIP tickets to their annual Bhangra Bash competition. Bhangra is a traditional celebration and folk dance of Southern India that involves lots of colorful outfits, movement and music. In it’s current form, Bhangra has seen it’s dance incorporated into modern culture, with hip hop and R&B taking quite a few queues from the style of Bhangra.
We had a great time at the show and it was great seeing the performances from all the teams. My personal favorite was the St. Louis team that could have second as a professional dance team with their choreography and near-perfect timing and coordination. If you get the chance, check out the show next year for an interesting treat- it was my first time at this type of event and I’ll be sure to go again next year!
