Originally founded as a dance team in 2000, Boston Bhangra has evolved into a non-profit dedicated to promoting cultural awareness through dance and music. The organization offers Bhangra classes, team performances, and promotes events that draw talent from all over the world, all while enriching Boston’s culture. The competition serves as the cornerstone of Boston Bhangra’s mission to celebrate the rich Punjabi culture.

This year, the competition will be split into two divisions, one with musicians performing live along with the dancers, and another with dancers accompanied by a live band. The live music teams will all include a singer, a Dhol performer, and 3-4 other musicians playing traditional Bhangrainstruments, such as Tumbis, Bugchus, and Chimptas. This will be the only Bhangra competition in the United States to feature live musical performances.
