ABOUT

Bhangra Australia 

In recent decades, Punjabi community moved out to other parts of the world e.g. USA, UK, Canada, Europe for better life and new challenges. The migrant community also managed to preserve their unique culture and heritage in these new countries of settlement. Generations after now youth of Punjabi community is maintaining their connection with their roots and practicing traditional form of dance Bhangra.
