Bhangara Roots Dance - Punjabi Language Week 

On Friday the 24th of November, we did the Punjabi folk dance, Bhangra. This event was hosted because it was Punjabi language week, and it was hosted by the school bhangra, Bhangra Roots. 

The places we mainly do Bhangra is when there's a newborn, a birthday, an anniversary, a wedding, or any other festivals of happiness. We do bhangra with a smile on our face and doing it with all the energy you have in your big big body. 

Today, we learnt some super cool steps. Most people don’t know the steps names, but I do. We did Tari Jhummar, Dhamaal, Bethak and lots more. The main thing was that everybody was trying their best, and had used all their energy! Plus, they had a smile on their face.

So, we did use a lot of energy, but it is purely worth it. We had a lot of fun, and some people’s feet started to hurt!
