Bhangra is a traditional folk dance and music genre that originated in the Punjab region of South Asia: 

Dance

Bhangra is characterized by energetic movements like kicks, leaps, and body bends, set to the beat of a dhol (double-headed drum) and short songs called boliyan. Dancers often wear colorful attire and perform in groups. 

Music

Bhangra music is a non-traditional style that combines traditional Punjabi songs and drumming with electronic rhythms. Bhangra music is known for its syncopated rhythm, which is created by the dhol's heavy beater on one end and lighter stick on the other. 

Origin

The term "bhangra" comes from the harvest product bhang (hemp), which was associated with the spring harvest festival Baisakhi. Bhangra originated as a cultural and communal celebration for Punjabi farmers. 

Significance

Bhangra is an important part of Punjab's cultural heritage and is celebrated at weddings and cultural festivals. It is also a symbol of cultural and religious identity for the Punjabi and Sikh communities. 

Evolution

Bhangra has evolved over time and has become popular around the world. It has been integrated into popular music and DJing, and is also part of exercise and dance programs in schools and studios.
