Shan-E-Punjab Arts Club

If you ever wanted to learn bhangra dance or to start your folk fest day with a fun and energetic workout, then Shan-E-Punjab Arts Club will have you covered.

Bhangra is a traditional Punjabi folk dance that has gained widespread popularity in recent years. Led by the powerful syncopated rhythmic beat of the double-headed dhol drum, bhangra mixes kicks, leaps, arm and shoulder thrusts in a joyous communal dance.

The vision of Shan – E – Punjab Arts Club is to“preserve and promote the art of the folk dances of Punjab in North America through performance, education, and community outreach.” The organization wants to encourage and nurture appreciation and love for these dance forms in everyone.

A group of passionate Punjabi dance devotees founded Shan – E – Punjab Arts Club in 2008, bringing together countless years of dance practice and knowledge. They combined their passions for culture, heritage and musical art to create a flourishing dance academy, one whose teams have won multiple dance competitions throughout North America.

For VFMF 2024, Shan-E- Punjab Arts Club is going to create one massive folk fest bhangra dance team that you are enthusiastically invited to join!
