Dholrhythms Dance Company Celebrates 10 Years

Co-founders and headliners of Non Stop Bhangra, Dholrhythms Dance Company celebrates a milestone of 10 years of teaching and performing in the San Francisco Bay Area. The first Non Stop Bhangra event was hosted to celebrate Dholrhythms 1 year anniversary. Since its inception, Dholrhythms has grown into a boundless and unique platform for people of diverse backgrounds to come together, express themselves, and dance in a non-competitive and positive environment.

In Celebration of this milestone, Non Stop Bhangra is mixing up the vibes this month to celebrate the SF Bay Area artistic community that Dholrhythms has been a part of for a decade. The night will bring together some of Dholrhythms favorite local creatives and collaborators to create a mashup of vibrant musical flavors from Cumbia, Reggae, to Hip-Hop mixed with the energy of Bhangra.

The night begins with the “Baraat Mob” an instrumental jamm session with live horns, and dhols drums to get people warmed up leading into an interactive, fun, jam packed Bhangra dance lesson, followed by beautiful dance performances by Dholrhythms Dance Co.

The night will continue with special guests Aima The Dreamer and Bang Data performing live for the first time at NSB at Public Works. J. Boogie(OM Records), who has been a part of Dholrhythms journey from the beginning is going to mix it up aon the turntables alongside NSB residents DJ Jimmy Love and Rav-E with Pavit & Mehul rocking the dhol drums. Beyond sound and dance, Non Stop Bhangra caters to your eyes all night with visuals by DJ Amar.

Aima The Dreamer has been rockin’ crowds for years as a vocalist and MC with groups such as J-Boogie’s Dubtronic Science, The Mamaz, Goddess Alchemy Project and Jazz Mafia’s Brass, Bows and Beats Hip-Hop Symphony. Bang Data is formed by Bay Area’s MC Deuce Eclipse on lead vocals, who’s well known by hip-hop fans as an accompanying voice to the legendary Zion I and musician/producer Juan Manuel Caipo who helped propel the latin alternative music scene in the Bay Area early on in his career. Mixing Rock, Reggae, Hip-Hop & Latin beats and infusing them with a soulful bilingual (English/Spanish) delivery by Deuce Eclipse, Bang Data has created a sound that is unmistakably theirs. The group has performed with acts such as Calle 13, Ozomatli, Zion I.  Their first single Bang Data from from their full length ‘La Sopa’ was featured on the hit AMC TV Drama Breaking Bad Episode “Salud”.

This is going to one of a kind cultural mashup creating an experience only found in the Bay Area.

For those that still don’t know what NSB is:
Imagine a scene from a Bollywood movie smack in the middle of a thumping nightclub—swirling colors, the rhythm of pounding feet, and the relentless energy of brilliant beats-that’s Non Stop Bhangra.

3 competitors from both sides come to battle. The first two dancers exchange rounds and the judges vote immediately afterwards, and the loser of that round must sit down, making it 2v3. Battle continues until one side is completely eliminated. Hypothetically, 1 dancer could defeat an entire 3 person squad.

Judges: TBA

Soulebrity / “Freestyle Elements” Open Styles Cypher Competition

SOULebrity was created by Flo-Ology in 2003. This is a gathering for dancers of all styles to share the cypher to an eclectic assortment of fresh beats (house, hip hop, breaks, funk, and much more).

The KEY however is ‘PARTICIPATION’. You can compete, but the point of Soulebrity is to have many circles, with everyone from non-competitive dancers to the audience getting down to great music and enjoying the vibe! To come to this event is to experience and enjoy this raw, thriving underground culture and community. All we need from you is your vibrancy!

The Cypher Battle Breakdown:
– There will be 3 competitive cyphers. Hosts = Judges.
– Invited hosts will inspire and dance with all contestants. After a one hour cypher 9 dancers will be selected.
– The top 9 will then dance with the hosts in a final cypher.
– Each host will award $250 to one of the finalist; therefore the possibility of 3 winners. If all 3 hosts select the same dancer, that dancer wins the full $750!

Capping Registration at 60. For Clarification and Commonly Asked Questions, please see: http://www.mindbodyflo.com/soulebrity/
