This is TAUR PUNJABAN a local Auckland based dance group that plan to energise the evening with their brand of Bollywood and infectious BHANGRA rhythms. This troupe of young girls are still at University but their passion for this dance has seen them travel around NZ bringing the Indian communities much joy with their high energy routine. A special treat for kiwis who have not been to the Punjab in India. They are sure to get your feet thumping. Thanks girls for your support to the event!
