Instructors 

We pride ourselves on our bad-ass instructors that have an understanding of proper bhangra form but who like to have fun with the dance and don't take tradition too seriously. Aka folk stars.

We want to inspire you, help you achieve your goals, push you, challenge you, support you, and laugh with you. Aka don't be scared when we try to be friends.
