Serving four different locations in the Bay Area: Hayward, Dublin, Tracy, and San Jose, we offer a variety of classes.
Girls Giddha - We teach girls between the ages of 5-16 years how to sing and dance on traditional boliyaan. In our classes we teach students lok geet and boliyaan for every cultural occasion including jaggo, lohri, teeyan, and many more. Our students enjoy the opportunity to not only learn how to sing and dance in these classes, but how to participate in ceremonies and rituals while learning the Punjabi language. Majority of our students are raised in the U.S., so we work to make sure that students' understand the meaning behind each boli, geet, etc. and the values of our culture by translating every word.
Ladies Giddha - We teach ladies 17 and older how to sing and dance on traditional boliyaan. Similar to our girls classes, we teach students lok geet and boliyaan for every cultural occasion including jaggo, lohri, teeyan, and many more. Our students enjoy the opportunity to not only learn how to sing and dance in these classes, but how to participate in ceremonies and rituals while learning the Punjabi language. This class is a great way for beginners and intermediate dancers to meet, connect, and learn together.

As an academy that strives to teach lok nach in its truest form while keeping it relatable for the next generation of children, we teach bhangra on modern songs as well as live dhol.
