Bruuuaaah! That was the immediate reaction the moment Bhangra music played out into the night at the Esplanade’s Forecourt Garden.
Conducting a Bhangra workshop as part of the da:ns festival’s What’s Your Move programme on 8 October 2021, Joshiley Bhangra brought their glorious dance moves to the public for about half an hour. About 20 participants were allowed within the event space, but almost double the number of onlookers joined in from the side as the Bhangra beat invaded their senses!
Pawandip, Rajbir, Sameer, Kulvinderjit and Gursimran gave the participants an amazing introductory performance before Pawandip led the workshop and explained the variety of dance moves they will be practicing for the night.
The session was split into 4 segments with 3 dance moves each. Participants were treated not only to a variety of movements, they also had a chance to experience a variety of Bhangra music, from the traditional dhol to modern electronic remixes.
This was the second year that Joshiley Bhangra was involved in da:ns, the last being in 2019.
