Some Indian students at UCLA have found a way to keep in touch with their culture by joining traditional competitive dance teams. UCLA is home to three such teams: UCLA Nashaa, Bataaka Nu Shaak, and Bruin Bhangra. Each showcases a distinct style of dance and competes at a national level, such as this Memorial Day, when Bruin Bhangra will host North America’s biggest bhangra competition.
