Brown Badmaash Dance Company - Shows & Competitions

Shows & Competitions

In its three years of existence, Brown Badmaash has performed at many events on Brown University's campus. Many of these events have a distinctive cultural theme, for example the annual shows sponsored by Brown's South Asian Students Association as well as South Asian-related lectures hosted by the University. In 2007, Brown Badmaash partnered with Mezcla (Brown's Latino performing arts troupe) to produce "Dhol Mundial," a fusion dance that interwove bhangra and bharatanatyam with salsa and Latino forms of dance. Brown Badmaash also performs at many non-culturally-aligned shows, for example the annual Fall Dance Concerts held at Brown University every November; at these events, the goal of Brown Badmaash is to entertain the audience while at the same time showcasing the diversity and power of dance. Brown Badmaash also makes appearances at many official Brown University events, including Brown's annual Commencement ceremonies and "ADOCH" welcome weeks for incoming Brown freshmen.

Outside of Brown University, Brown Badmaash participates in many cultural shows and dance competitions. These include the Raunak cultural show hosted by Harvard University and the Tamasha dance competition in New York City. Many Brown Badmaash members also perform individually or in smaller groups in their hometowns around the country. In the past, Brown Badmaash members have also volunteered as dance teachers at schools and camps in Providence and New York.
