Gurshaan Singh
Gurshaan began his bhangra journey at the age of five, learning bhangra sets with live instruments and vocals at local melas and transitioning to music performances at competitions across the country. Gurshaan has danced on Cal Bhangra, Gabroo Unit, and served as a co-captain of Hukam de Yakke, allowing him to develop a deep appreciation for the creative and traditional elements of bhangra that create lasting, memorable performances. Through the mentorship and guidance of former coaches/captains, Gurshaan was able to make the most of his dancing experience, and it is through this same conviction for preserving the art form that he wishes to teach at Bay Area Bhangra Arts.
Ramnik Singh
Ramnik started his bhangra journey alongside his undergraduate career at UC Berkeley with Cal Bhangra in 2018. Since then, he has danced with Cal Bhangra, Hukam de Yakke, Norcal Naujawan, and Gabroo Unit at 11 competitions across North America and has had the privilege of being able to serve as a captain, choreographer, and coach. Inspired by the passionate and welcoming embrace of the global bhangra community, Ramnik aims to share his love and respect for Punjabi culture, music, and bhangra’s folk roots, while also extending his dedication to fitness and learning in the East Bay Area, where he is a native.
