The energetic movements of Bhangra and the Windsor Symphony Orchestra collided on Sunday afternoon.

Members of the Windsor Bhangra Club brought the energetic dance to the Capitol Theatre stage as part of “Bhangra and Beyond.”

The two-hour concert featured works of primarily Indian composers and multiple performances of the dance created in Punjab, India.

Mannat Jhajj, a member of the Windsor Bhangra Club, said the experience was a first for their group.

“We performed while the orchestra was playing their instruments, and I feel like it’s a really unique experience that we haven’t been through and it was really enjoyable,” Jhajj said in an interview.

Performances were held on Saturday evening as well as Sunday afternoon.

The club practiced up to four times a week in the month leading up to the concert, spending more than two hours on their feet each time.
