Cornell Bhangra

Founded in 1997, Cornell Bhangra's goal is to promote awareness of Punjabi dance and culture in the community and across the nation. Bhangra is a folk dance originating in the state of Punjab in Northern India and Pakistan that celebrates the arrival of spring and everyday culture/life in Punjab.

Each year we host Pao Bhangra, the largest student-run show on Cornell's campus as well as the largest Bhangra exhibition in all of North America. Last year, we had a spectacular audience of over 2,700 people!
