Went to a wedding reception of a good friend a few weeks back. They had a group of professional bhangra dancers do a number-- they mashed-up the dance floor. As you can see not too many people were siting. You see listening to bhangra and siting down don't go together, believe you me its bloody near impossible.

Bhaṅgṛā Punjabi: ਭੰਗੜਾ, بھنگڑا (Hindi: भांगड़ा, Urdu: بھنگڑا; pronounced [pə̀ŋɡɽaː]) is a form of music and dance that originated in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. Bhangra began as a folk dance conducted by Punjabi people to celebrate the coming of Spring, or Vaisakhi.The specific moves reflect the manner in which villagers farmed their land. This musical art further became synthesized after the partition of India, when refugees from different parts of the Punjab shared their folk dances with individuals who resided in the regions they settled in. This hybrid dance became Bhangra.The dance started from just one move and evolved later on. It has been popularized by Punjabi artists from the Sikh community, with which it is now commonly associated.[1] Today, bhangra survives in different forms and styles all over the globe – including pop music, film soundtracks, and even collegiate competitions.
