Voted “Best Dance Party” in the SF Bay Area, Non Stop Bhangra is a unique experience that celebrates the beautiful and vibrant spirit of Bhangra, a traditional Punjabi, Indian folk music and dance. A multicultural collective of dancers, DJs, drummers, and guest musicians, Non Stop Bhangra provides a platform for people of all ages and backgrounds to come together and dance in a positive environment. Imagine a scene from a Bollywood movie smack in the middle of a dance party – swirling colors, rhythm of pounding feet, bouncing shoulders, endless smiles, relentless energy & brilliant beats – that’s Non Stop Bhangra. The celebratory spirit of Non Stop Bhangra makes everyone dance with unbridled joy and enthusiasm. Now in its 14th year of productions, the group has won over legions of fans with its monthly events in San Francisco and has been featured at landmark stages and platforms all around the Bay Area and beyond. Teaming up with local non-profits and organizations promoting the arts, Non Stop Bhangra Collective is always focused on bringing communities together and raising awareness to embrace a more global consciousness through music & dance.
