Hi! I’m Harinder Singh Sandhu, your Bhangra Coach, choreographer in Adelaide City.

“I left my homeland to bring the true essence of Bhangra to a new stage, dedicating 100% of my time and passion to growing Malwai Bhangra Academy. Bhangra is not just about the moves—it’s about the energy, the spirit, and the strength it builds within. It teaches discipline, confidence, and the power of staying connected to our roots while embracing new opportunities. Through Malwai Bhangra Academy, we are not just dancing—we are building a community, preserving tradition, and inspiring the next generation to move with purpose, pride, and passion!”

Personal Story

My journey began in 2008 when he took on the role of a Bhangra coach at Punjab MGC College. With a vision to refine and elevate the traditional art form, he trained young dancers, preparing them to showcase the richness of Punjabi folk culture. That same year, his dedication and talent led him to perform on a national stage, marking a milestone in his Bhangra career.

Determined to continue his journey, he moved to Australia and, in 2019, founded Malwai Bhangra Academy in Adelaide, South Australia. Through this academy, he aimed to bring the essence of traditional Malwai Bhangra to a new generation, keeping the folk spirit alive far from its homeland. His academy’s debut performance at Murray Bridge was a proud moment, and it was just the beginning of an inspiring journey.

Under his guidance, Malwai Bhangra Academy has participated in six Bhangra Cup competitions in Australia, proving its strength and dedication in the competitive Bhangra community. His teams have continued to carry the true essence of folk Bhangra, blending passion, discipline, and cultural pride.

From the fields of Punjab to the vibrant stages of Australia, his journey is a testament to the timeless power of Bhangra—a dance that transcends borders, unites people, and keeps the pulse of Punjabi heritage alive for generations to come.

“it’s a way of life, a rhythm of hard work, passion, and perseverance. To the young generation: embrace your roots, stay dedicated, and never stop learning. Whether on stage or in life, give your best, move with confidence, and let your energy inspire others. The future of our culture is in your hands—dance with pride, dream big, and keep the spirit of Bhangra alive!” –Harinder Singh

True Story

Story – Sukhdeep Singh

Bhangra is not just a dance for Sukhdeep Singh—it is his soul, his discipline, and his lifelong passion. From an early age, Sukhdeep was drawn to the vibrant beats of the dhol and the electrifying energy of Punjab’s folk dance. His journey began at a young age, performing at various youth festivals across Punjab, where his dedication and skill quickly set him apart. With every performance, he refined his technique, embracing the true essence of traditional Bhangra while continuously striving for perfection.

When he moved to Australia, his love for Bhangra remained unwavering. He became a founding member of Malwai Bhangra Academy, where his leadership and expertise played a pivotal role in shaping the academy’s success. As the main lead performer, Sukhdeep has graced countless stages, mesmerizing audiences with his flawless and energetic dance moves. His ability to combine precision with power makes him a standout performer, earning him the title of Best Bhangra Dancer four times in a row—a testament to his relentless hard work and passion.

Beyond being a phenomenal dancer, Sukhdeep is also a key figure in Live Folk Bhangra performances, mastering multiple traditional elements to support his team. His deep-rooted knowledge of authentic Bhangra techniques and his ability to connect with the audience make him an inspiration for many aspiring dancers.

“Bhangra is not just about steps—it’s about energy, passion, and dedication. If you love it, give it your all. Train hard, stay focused, and keep learning. Every move you make should tell a story, and every beat should come from the heart. Success in Bhangra isn’t about competition, it’s about the spirit you bring to it. Keep dancing, keep growing, and let the world see the fire in you!”
