Bhangra


Back in the early 2000's I became quite besotted with both the music and the dance of Bhangra.

I had only just discovered it, and its energy and liveliness became very appealing. 

The dance comes from the Punjab area of India, and was originally a dance for farmers (men) to celebrate the harvest. I don't think it's an ancient ritual, it might simply date back to the 1950's.


I would love to join-in with these guys, but I don't own any trousers tight enough!

There's a fitness class in our village that uses bhangra beat music.... calls itself BhangraFit!!
You don't need tight troos... the BhangraFit association recommend loose clothing

I will keep this for when I dig my spuds up, I might not be as energetic as them.

Good music to get the blood rushing and the body moving. I'd probably last 30 seconds
