PUNJABI VACA OFFICE INAUGRATED
By
Punjabi Pop Star Sukhshinder
Shinda
|
| Punjabi VACA was founded by Nachdi Jawani Bhangra group who has been
striving to encourage the preservation of the Punjabi culture since 2001.
This Bhangra group took Bhangra to unknown boundaries, in the midst of
doing this the need for a place of learning and teaching of the Indian
folk dance and culture became more prominent. They were constantly approached
by students and parents showing their interests in Bhangra after watching
their extravagant performances. In February 2005, Nachdi Jawani held the
grand opening of Punjabi Virsa Arts and Culture Academy which is operating
successfully. Finding it difficult to operate in a small facility where
the demand for this academy was overwhelming, they found a need to relocate
to a bigger location to accommodate the increased number of students showing
interest. The new academy operates with two class rooms which are taught
by 8 professional instructors and classes are held all day Saturday and
Sundays. In total this academy has taught 750 students with a currant base
of 300 students operating from three separate locations Brampton, Guelph
and Scarborough. PVACA holds classes for Bhangra, Gidha, art, instruments
and turban tying lessons to individuals of all ages. Students enrolled
in this academy also have the opportunity to perform in professional teams
within their age group. |

to enjoy a fun-filled day of traditional activities, food, and sports.
The Annual VACA Gala however is an event organized to allow beginner students
and professionals teams to show off there talents performing live amongst
family and friends to bring in the New Year.
Punjabi Virsa Arts and Culture Academy is committed to provide today’s
youth an opportunity to increase their understanding and knowledge of their
culture to keep their roots alive. Our goal is also to promote our
culture to Punjabi and non-Punjabi communities to create an international
awareness for our Proud heritage and Culture. |
