Yaar Panj-Aab Phangra Troupe

YPP started its journey in 2010 when founder, Sewak G, had the vision of starting a new bhangra team in Singapore. YPP’s goal of bringing Bhangra to a wider audience has seen them cross many hurdles to achieve the success they have today.

YPP started performing for family/friends events and quickly grew to performing for national and international events. Through the hard work of the pioneer bhangra members and of course the young talented and hard working dancers, people soon knew that there was a new bhangra team in the market!

The YPP troupe has been innovators in modern Bhangra with creative styles fused with traditional foundation. Its team of 16 active male and female dancers not only explore new bhangra techniques but also offer professional Giddha performances!

YPP has collaborated with other cultural dance troupes to showcase multi-ethnic performances. As a registered company with the National Arts Council, YPP are approved vendors in conducting bhangra related programmes for schools.

In the last 8 years, their hard work has paid off with a resume of community, national and international event performances.They even got through to the quarter-finals of the Asia’s Got Talent!
