This Bhangra fusion class brings together the high energy movement of Bhangra with some elements of other South Asian and contemporary dance styles. The class will begin with a review of foundational Bhangra steps and movements before moving into an energetic fusion choreography. Dancers will explore musicality, performance quality, expression, and the ways different dance styles can come together to create a dynamic fusion piece.

Dancers of all levels are welcome!
