Welcome to the website of Brown Badmaash Dance Company!

Brown Badmaash is Brown University's South Asian Fusion dance team.Our pieces interweave South Asian and Western dance styles, breaking down the boundaries between existing forms of dance and showcasing the musical power of fusion. Bhangra, hiphop, garba/raas, lyrical, bharatanatyam, salsa, Bollywood, breakdancing — you name the dance style, and we have someone working on tying it into our next performance.

Here you can find all things Badmaash, from member profiles to history to how to reach us.
