GW Hosts 15th Annual "Bhangra Blowout"

This year marked the 15^th anniversary of Bhangra Blowout, hosted by GW’s South Asian Society. Bhangra is a traditional Punjabi folk dance style that depends heavily on intense percussion beats. Bhangra has been taken over by the entertainment industry in the 21^st century. Teams from Columbia, Drexel, Northwestern and many more descended upon the Foggy Bottom campus to compete for a $4,000 first place prize. Leading up to the competition, there was the Bhangra Blowout launch party for all competing teams, followed by a Saturday afternoon block party. The competition was held Saturday evening in Constitution Hall.
