Bhangra Specialty

Originally performed by men, Bhangra is one of India’s most popular dances, known for its percussion rhythm, its strength, and its emphasis on joy. Despite its massive popularity, Bhangra is often misrepresented and incorrectly performed in mainstream film and culture.

In 2017, Tricha became the Bollywood film industry’s first and only trained Bhangra choreographer. In addition to her work in Bollywood as a female leader of a male-dominated dance form, she also conducted training programs and workshops across India.
