If you like Bhangra, Boston was the place to be on November 16th, 2013!  Boston Bhangra, Inc hosted their 10th annual Boston Bhangra Competition, called BBC for short, at the Orpheum Theatre in Boston.  This was their tenth straight sell out event with close to 3,000 people in attendance.  Bhangra fans were in attendance by the boat load!!  This included both South Asians and Americans alike! There were at least 30% non-south Asians in the audience which is showing just how diverse a dance Bhangra is becoming!

The competition level was very diverse and extremely competitive as they had teams from all over North America.  Teams hailed from California, Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland, Toronto, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Texas and of course, Boston.  These teams put on a great show and made it very difficult for the judges.

All 12 teams put on a great show, but after everything was done, there was a 3rd place went to Ru Boys from New Jersey, 2nd place went to DCMPAA from Washington DC, and 1st place went to Nachdi Jawani Warriors from Toronto.

To add even more excitement to the event, Boston Bhangra had a special performance by the world famous Bhangra stars, Dev Dhillon and Mickey SIngh!  The crowds went wild for both performers as they showcased their vocals to the audience. In addition to that, Jus Reign, the youtube comedy sensation from Canada was the host of the show keeping the crowd laughing all night.

Passage to India was the food vendor of choice as they sold snacks, dinner and drinks at the venue.

The show was advertised and will air internationally on TV Asia!  The United States and Canada will be lucky to get these exclusive clips for their viewers!  This is the only competition to have television advertising and airing throughout various parts of the globe!  

Overall, this was a very successful year for the Boston Bhangra Competition, as all the pieces came together and everybody enjoyed the 4 hour show.  We highly recommend checking out this show which takes place in mid November every year.

TV Asia, E3NA, Harvard Pilgrim, Comcast, India New England and Ocean Spray are some of the bigger sponsors that helped to make this show a reality.
