Punjabi Folk Squad is Mohali's home for authentic Punjabi folk dance: Bhangra, Giddha, Luddi, and Jhoomer, taught the way they were meant to be, with real energy, real technique, and real respect for where they come from.
We run group classes, one-on-one coaching, full wedding choreography, and school & college performances, built for absolute beginners and seasoned performers alike, in a non-competitive environment where every skill level is welcome.
Over 16+ years, that approach has grown into 500+ dancers trained, 80+ wedding shows choreographed, and performances at 15+ festivals across 5 countries.
Born and raised in New Chandigarh, Gagandeep has lived and breathed Bhangra his whole life, from local akharas to national and international stages. He founded Punjabi Folk Squad to pass on every beat, every boliyan, and every ounce of Punjab's spirit to anyone ready to move.
What began as one instructor teaching a handful of students in Mohali has grown into a full academy, training over 500 dancers, performing at 15+ festivals across 5 countries, and choreographing 80+ wedding stages, all without losing the authenticity it started with.
Alongside two dedicated instructors, he leads group energy sessions, personalised one-on-one coaching, and full wedding performance choreography, building dancers, not just steps.
From Panjab University's youth festivals to India's Got Talent, Gagandeep's competitive record reflects the same discipline he brings to every class.
