The Legacy of Bhangra annual dance competition celebrates the rich culture and history of a traditional form of Indian dance and music that originated in the Punjab region of the subcontinent. Those unfamiliar with the Bhangra may expect dynamic and energetic choreography that include props, vibrant garments and coordinated rhythmic movements. The routines often tell a story through lyrical dance. Many acclaimed groups, including the Royal Bhangra Girls, Johr Jawani Da, California Folk Bhangra Club, Sonay Gabroo, Punjab De and Nachdi Jawani Waris will compete for first place and bragging rights.
