Vancouver Island Bhangra is a vibrant dance school located in Nanaimo, dedicated to spreading joy and positive vibes through the energetic and rhythmic dance style of Bhangra. The school offers a variety of classes and programs for dancers of all ages and skill levels.
One of the highlights of Vancouver Island Bhangra is the Junior Girls Bhangra Team, which is the first of its kind in Central Vancouver Island. This team is open to dancers aged 7-16 and meets on Thursdays from March to June for 90 minutes of dance, fitness, and fun. Members of the team are required to attend all practices, practice consistently on their own, and maintain a dress code of comfortable workout attire. The team performs at various events, including the A Glimpse of India Festival at Maffeo Sutton Park.
In addition to the Bhangra Team, Vancouver Island Bhangra also offers Ladies Dance Nights, where women can come together to shake off the stress and dance their way into summer. No experience is needed, just enthusiasm and energy. Classes are held on Thursdays at the Beban Social Centre.
For those looking to stay fit and have fun, Vancouver Island Bhangra offers Bhangra Fit classes for adults and children. These classes are a great way to burn calories and embrace the joy of dance. The school also provides community lessons and events, allowing dancers to connect with each other and the wider community through the art of Bhangra.
Vancouver Island Bhangra is also involved in community events such as A Glimpse of India 2024, presented by the Crimson Coast Dance Society. Local businesses and community members can contribute by donating prizes or gift baskets for giveaways during the event.
