The goal of the Asian Northern Punjabi Folk Dance Club is to preserve and share the tradition of Northern Punjabi dance and music with the world and to serve as a cultural resource to engage and enrich communities at home and abroad.
The program will include performances in:
Bhangra which was initially used as a celebratory folk dance which heralded the coming of spring, or Vaisakhi, as it is known. The lyrics sung with the beat of a 'Dhol' relate to social or cultural issues. Bhangra seeks to offer a message along with its music and dance.
