Shan-E Punjab Girls
Bhangra dance has come a long way originating in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan back in the 14th - 15th century. It came about during harvest season, Vaisakhi, when farmers would celebrate a great crop by dancing in the ways they work their land.
The guys at Surrey India Arts Club have been working hard to perfect each and every step for their performance this Saturday (27th Feb 2010).
