Bhangra is a folk dance of Punjab and an integral part of Punjabi culture. It is a vibrant dance with dhol (drums), boliyan (lyrical couplets), and it is typically performed during the harvest season and festive occasions.
Bhangra is often used to describe many different and distinct folk dances - bhangra, giddha, jhummer, etc. Bhangra is typically performed by men and is centered on the dhol. It often includes props (sticks, chimtas, etc.) and acrobatics. Jhummer is a particular style of bhangra. Giddha is performed by women and is centered around boliyan. Whether performed by men or women, Punjabi folk dances incorporate all the teasing, fun and exuberance of Punjabi life.
