Club Mission

Penn Dhamaka is the University of Pennsylvania's premier competitive all-male fusion dance troupe. Dhamaka performs a variety of dance styles, including Bhangra, Hip-Hop, Bollywood, Kuthu, Raas, and more. They strive to spread their passion for dance, entertainment, and the cultures of South Asia to people across the country, while also developing a sense of brotherhood and community among the team.

We are open to all students who share an interest in the above dance styles, or even dance in general!

In addition to their annual Fall show at Penn, Dhamaka travels to competitions at various campuses around the East Coast.

Stay tuned for details about auditions and look forward to their performances at SAS Mini Cultural Show and SPAN—coming up soon!

FAQ

Most Recent
Question: How much of a time commitment is Dhamaka (in hours per week)? - Anonymous

The time commitment is variable based on the time of year (i.e. the hours per week is very different depending on whether there is no upcoming performance vs. competition next week). Expect 8 - 12 hours a week of dancing on average, with less or more depending on the time of year. Know that the team understands school is a priority and that we can be flexible based on your workload during certain times of year -- if you have a big upcoming test, for example, we can work around it as long as you let us know early enough.
