01Our Story
Sharing Punjabi culture with the world
Born from a simple obsession, to spread the love of Bhangra by teaching it the right way. Today we carry the rhythm of Punjab from our studios in Troy and Plymouth to the biggest stages in North America, from the Detroit Pistons halftime floor to sharing the stage with Diljit Dosanjh.
Championship coaching
National champions and competition judges with 60+ combined years on the circuit.
Authentic folk Bhangra
We honour the roots of Punjabi folk dance while keeping every class fresh and exciting.
Every age, every level
From four-year-olds to adults, first-timers to competitors, there is a place for you.

06Loved by Families
Real dancers. Real results.
Hundreds of five-star reviews from parents and students across Metro Detroit. Here's what the Furteelay family has to say.
“The coaches genuinely care. My daughter walked in shy and nervous, six months later she performed a full set on stage and hasn’t stopped smiling since.”
“Best decision I made this year. Class doesn’t even feel like a workout, and the community is unreal. I look forward to it every single week.”
“Coach Sahab breaks down every move so anyone can follow. I had zero dance experience and now I’m competing. That’s a testament to the teaching here.”
“Furteelay feels like family. Both my kids are enrolled and the culture, discipline and joy they’ve gained is priceless. Michigan is lucky to have them.”
