About Dhamaka
Dhamaka is the University of Pennsylvania’s first and only all-male dance troupe. Created by nine students sharing a passion for dance, Dhamaka combines western and South Asian dance styles, aspiring to present a fresh, unique, and innovative fusion of these cultures.
Dhamaka has expanded rapidly in the past decade, culminating in its successes at competitions and showcases at universities along the east coast. Dhamaka’s main event is an annual 2-hour long production held every February displaying a multitude of dance styles from Hip Hop to Bhangra. With the tremendous success of these shows and performances, Dhamaka hopes to reach new and diverse audiences while still maintaining its roots in the Penn and larger Philadelphia community.
