Bhangra is a traditional folk dance from the Punjab region of India and Pakistan that is now popular in Malaysia. It is performed by men and women at weddings to energetic music featuring drums and singing. The dance involves high jumps and yells as the dancers move in a circle to the beat. Bhangra's history dates back to harvest celebrations, and the colorful costumes worn by dancers represent the rich rural culture of Punjab. It has evolved over time, including the incorporation of Western dance styles, and competitions are now held among college students in Punjab.

representive of the state of Punjab and composed of glimpse of men’s Punjabi dance styles,

Bhangra was being staged in the Punjabi Diaspora and characterized by a fusion with western
dance styles and the use of prerecorded audio mixes.
Bhangra dance is based on music from a Dhol, folk singing, and the Chimta. The accompanying
songs are small couplets written in the Punjab language called Bolis. Bhangra singers employs
a high, energetic tune of voice.Other than that, the singers sing fiercely and with great pride,
they add nonsensical and random noises to their singing.The people dancing to Bhangra will
yell rases such as Hoi,Hoi, Hoi, Balle, Balle and Chakde for an extended length of about 25
seconds to the music.

coming of spring. During this month, the harvest especially wheat crop,was gradually reaped. It
was after days of harvesting and at Visakhi fairs the Bhangra was performed, as a dance of
men alone. Then, Bhangra competitions have been held in Punjab for many decades. They are

the message of peace. It can be visualised that the popularity of Bhangra is growing day by day
