For those who love to dance, this is the class for you! Join a group for a 1 hour dance class in Newton with Boston Bhangra (https://www.bostonbhangra.com/BBInc2/) to learn how to do bhangra (a high energy Punjabi folk dance), and get a good workout while you are learning! With its energetic movement, lively dance style and pounding rhythmic beats, Bhangra has quickly become a popular music phenomenon. Bhangra's influence can be found in new hip hop songs from many big artists (e.g., Jay-Z feat. Punjabi MC) and much of the music from the northern parts of India.
Whether you are an experienced dancer or have never danced before, Bhangra is a great way to meet new people, get a great workout, and have fun! The beginner/intermediate class will be $15 per person for a group rate of 10+ people. We will confirm all attendance one week in advance (on Jan 5) and at that time we ask you to commit to paying for the class. Feel free to bring a friend (or two!) who is not a NWF member to join us. The more the merrier!
