Bhangra is a very lively form of folk music and dance that originates from Punjab. It was traditionally performed for the commemoration and celebration of the success of the season's harvest, but today forms a central part of wedding festivities, birthday celebrations, local parties and other celebrations. During Bhangra, dancers move in a circle around the Dhol drummers following their rhythms with their dance executing vigorous kicks, leaps, and bends of the body.
Whilst Bhangra focuses on its Indian folk heritage, Bollywood celebrates traditional Indian dance as well as commercialised Western styles; Bollywood is a mixed dance form that fuses classical Indian dance styles with Western choreography from Salsa, Hip Hop, Brake, Tango and Ballet with its iconic hand gestures and head and neck movements.
Bhangra and Bollywood are both equally as colourful and vibrant and great fun at any event!

Firstly, you need to ensure that you have enough space for the size of the dance troupe that you are booking.
How long would you like them to perform for? Do you have a particular theme or message that could be expressed with bespoke costumes, props or choreography? What kind of style and atmosphere are you hoping to achieve? Would you like to include a VIP or special guest in the performance as a surprise?
These are the kinds of things we’ll consider with you to ensure that the act is perfectly suited to your event needs - along with practical elements such as the size and height of your space to allow for stunts, who is to provide lighting and sound system, logistics and more.
Again, we’ll ask you about space, lighting, sound systems and the specific requirements of the musicians, DJs and bands you’re considering.
A good place to start is by thinking about your audience and venue. How many people will be there? What are their tastes in music? Will they want to dance?
Another important factor is whether your musicians are based on a stage or can roam among guests. Wireless roaming musicians are a fantastic solution for outdoor venues.
