Biography Shub Gill, Director-Bhangra has been part of my life since I was 8 years old. Not only do I enjoy dancing bhangra, but I am just as passionate about teaching it and taking it to another level by training enough bhangra dancers who can carry on this legacy by sharing it with others. I have been teaching Bhangra since 1989 in Los Angeles, CA; Vancouver, BC; Surrey, BC; and now in Seattle, WA. I currently teach Bhangra, Bollywood, Giddha and our most popular Bhangracize (aerobics with bhangra music) classes in Seattle, Everett, Kent, Bellevue, Kirkland, and Redmond.
