![Between Thanksgiving, Eid and Xmas, Festivus, Kwanza, Hannakah and all the other Holidays lies a new holiday, Bhangroliday, come celebrate on Dec 4th.The November party was just plain AWESOME!!!! so much fun… let’s keep it building upward!!!’here are some good words from the press:“The U.S. Department of Bhangra is the kind of government expansion we love - a night of thumping, percussive Indian music spun by DJs Miss Modular and Beta-G. Now a monthly throw down,… …its regulars always love to lip-sync to favorite Bollywood hits and show off their moves in the middle of dance circles.”-Going Out Guru’s - The Washington Post” Top Ten under $10: #2. Tucked as it is between the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Commerce in the federal dictionary, it’s easy to overlook the US Department of Bhangra. Dedicated to bringing a hot monthly Indian dance party to Washington, its employees work at Bossa on Friday night, keep odd hours (10 PM to 2 AM), and require very little funding (an $8 cover).”-After Hours Blog - Washingtonian.comInfo:Friday Dec. 4th 10pm$5 cover to Bossa downstairs$3 donation to USDB Upstairs= $8 total - Thanks!!Upstairs at Bossa Lounge [Adams Morgan]2463 18th Street, NW Washington, DCa monthly Bhangra dance party on the first fridays at Bossa.Join the facebook group for updates at:http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=50875291509interweb:dcbhangra.com & swedishcolumbia.com](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kte5dbTg7I1qzxtazo1_r2_500.jpg)

![The October USDB was by far the best one ever!!! Complete with dance-offs in dance circles, bollywood style lip syncing/ acting / dancing. Basically, people were having a great time!!! let’s keep the party going strong this month!! We have decided to have the party on the first Fridays of every month, but as i say that, we might be skipping December due to the holiday season and travel plans for the DJs, We’ll keep you posted for that. It just means that you should definitely make it out to this one, as it could be the last one of the year.Info:Friday Nov. 6th 10pm$5 cover to Bossa downstairs$3 donation to USDB Upstairs= $8 total - Thanks!!Upstairs at Bossa Lounge [Adams Morgan]2463 18th Street, NW Washington, DCa monthly Bhangra dance party on the first fridays at Bossa.Join the facebook group for updates at:http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=135583589015#/group.php?gid=50875291509interweb:dcbhangra.comswedishcolumbia.com](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_krq5wysWm91qzxtazo1_500.jpg)
