In short: dance exists in at least four industries. Be discerning about what you are choosing.
Same word, four different goals
- Spiritual: dancing meditatively. Meaning matters more than fitness.
- Partying: dancing for fun, at weddings, parties and nights out. The service provider is the DJ.
- Performing: dancing for an audience, on stages, in teams and on social media. The service provider is the choreographer.
- Exercising: dancing for your health. The service provider is the fitness instructor. This is Pungra.
Exercise, not performance
Pungra is a brand that focuses on exercise and fitness to Punjabi music, not performing arts. Many others make similar claims about “bhangra fitness” or “bhangra aerobics” but are really focused on performing. Their goals, customers and industries are different.
Who is it for?
People who are busy, people in corporate jobs, and people who do not want to perform on a stage. You get a workout, not a show to prepare for.
