Highlighting the ancestral roots of Punjabi dance while pushing boundaries with contemporary influences, Non Stop Bhangra is a genre-busting elixir of North Indian Bhangra music and dance, mixed with hip-hop, reggae, and electronica. An ever-evolving collective of dancers, DJs, drummers, vocalists, and musicians, Non Stop Bhangra was founded in 2004 with the goal of sharing the spirit and energy of Punjabi music and dance with a wide audience. Featuring the vibrant dancers of Dholrhythms Dance Company, led by Vicki Virk and Suman Raj, and music by DJ Jimmy Love, the group has won over legions of fans with its monthly events in San Francisco. Dholrhythms also promotes the artistic and cultural heritage of India with classes and workshops, providing a unique platform for people of diverse backgrounds to come together and dance in a positive environment. The group has performed at some of the largest stages in the West Coast including San Francisco's renowned Stern Grove Festival, Michael Franti's Power to the Peaceful in Golden Gate Park, New Mexico's ¡Globalquerque!, Grand Performances in Los Angeles, Pasadena's Levitt Pavilion, and Canada's Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. www.nonstopbhangra.com
