Our Mission
NORTHWESTERN'S PREMIER BOLLYWOOD DANCE TEAM
Northwestern Anubhav is NU’s premier competitive Hindi Film & Fusion Dance Team. In 2008, the team was founded by choreographers from Stanford Dil Se and Northwestern Raas. Since then, Anubhav has placed in 25 competitions across the nation including two national titles, in 2014 and 2016, when the team won the 5th and 7th annual Bollywood America Filmi-Fusion Dance Championships.
Since 2014, Anubhav has set their dance to storylines that showcase South Asian American history, identity, culture, and shed light on the complexities of the second-generation Indian American experience. The team fuses a variety of traditional, folk, and classical dance forms with modern styles such as contemporary, lyrical, hip-hop, and Bollywood which represent the diverse cultural, social, and dance backgrounds of their company members.
