Bhangra is a classical dance and music form that originated from Panjab, India. It originated as a classical dance celebrated during the time of the harvest. It's traditionally danced to the dhol instrument, a large drum, accompanied by boliyan, short sets of lyrics that describe scenes or stories from Panjab.
