NACHDA SANSAAR are a group of Punjabi Folk Dancers. Was formed in 1988 since then they have excelled them selves, and spearheaded a campaign to keep the art of traditional Bhangra dancing alive. The word Punjab known as the 'Land of Five Rivers' state in the North of India. The Punjab possesses some of the most fertile land in the world, therefore it is not surprising that one of the main industries is Farming. The history of Bhangra can be traced back to the early 16 century. The farmers of the Punjab used Bhangra to celebrate the annual harvest festival of 'Vaisakhi'. Bhangra is a fast and exhilarating dance that utilises live musical accompaniment including traditional folk songs and drumming from the 'Dhol'. The choreography within the dance reflects the daily activities of the farmers at work and the celebrations at harvest time. Bhangra as a dance form, has travelled the world. Dance is a universal language and can be understood and appreciated by all. It unites people regardless of colour, creed and class. With this in mind it is the pleasure of NACHDA SANSAAR to keep the art of traditional Bhangra alive.
