Brown Badmaash Dance Company, often referred to as Brown Badmaash, is a nationally competitive South Asian fusion dance team based at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. As a South Asian fusion team, Brown Badmaash incorporates music from both South Asian and Western dance traditions. Brown Badmaash is a relatively new dance team but already has participated in dozens of fusion dance competitions and shows around the Northeast.
Brown Badmaash's official slogan is "Brown is the new Gold," a double entendre on the fact that the team's members attend Brown University. However, another slogan used commonly by Brown Badmaash members is the one-word question Bad-WHAT?, to which the audience replies with a resounding Bad-MAASH!
