“Bhangra is a dance that combines both energy and grace.” – Lavesh Pritmani

Lavesh Pritmani (@LearnBhangraNow) is the founder and CEO of the Learn Bhangra. In less than three years, his app achieved over 70,000 downloads and 25,000 registered users. No small feat.

Bhangra is an energetic, folk dance and music form that originated from Punjab, India. Today, it’s the newest dance, music, and fitness phenomenon spreading all over the world. Lavesh began teaching Bhangra in 2006, and for 10 years, he taught 300+ students and started the independent Bhangra movement in North Carolina. Lavesh learned the folk elements of Bhangra from his coach from India. This completely transformed Lavesh’s approach towards Bhangra, and showed him how Bhangra’s teachings of discipline, confidence, and respect could be incorporated into everyday life.

Lavesh and his team have now expanded the Learn Bhangra app to workshops, choreography, and instructor certifications around the world. Lavesh is extremely talented and his story is fascinating – he built this app from a simple idea to a global phenomenon. With further ado, please enjoy my conversation with Lavesh Pritmani.
