About Your Instructors: Haseeb and Khiry
Haseeb started his dance career late compared to most. Starting in college, he began his dance career on a bollywood fusion team where he was introduced to several dance styles. After a year of dancing, he realized Bhangra was his true passion. He loved the music, culture, and of course dance. From there, he continued to learn and grow in the Bhangra circuit by continuing to dance, perform, and compete throughout his college career. His dance affiliations include GMU Bhangra, Tarey Panj Daryavan De, VCU Hasdi Jawani, Capital Bhangra, and Mehfil Mitraan Di. In this class, you can expect to learn both beginner and advanced techniques of Bhangra, and you'll experience the true spirit of Bhangra with Dholi Ram playing the Dhol in class!
