About us

 

Bhangra Dance is a traditional cultural dance by the Punjabi since harvest season, when farmers enjoy earning from their crops. It is originated from Punjab, India.

During the early 20th century when Sikhs came to Malaysia with the British Army, this tradition was practiced here ever since. Bhangra Dance is lead by a Thol (a drum hange around the neck played with sticks) Drummer. A Thol Drummer leads the dancers to various Bhangra steps from light and casual steps, to vigorous movements such as stunts. Colourful costumes of the Bhangra Dancers lightens and shines the occasion. The costume for male consists of a long Kurta (long sleeve shirt - knee length), Lungi (meter long cloth tied around the waist), a jacket above the Kurta, Handkerchief tied at the last fingers, Turban with fan-like decorations and a scarf tied around the waist.
