TERRAPIND

Our name, TerraPind, is a play on words. As a dance group from the University of Maryland, we included the University's mascot, the Terrapin, in the name. In Punjabi, the native language of Punjab, our name can be split into two words: "Terra" means your and "Pind" means village. Altogether, our team name showcases our deep ties to our ancestral Punjabi and Indian cultures and to our University... Our goal is to raise awareness and appreciation of our unique art form through performances and competitions... TerraPind Bhangra is the University of Maryland's co-ed Bhangra team. We represent the classical, upbeat and energetic dance form of Bhangra that originated in the northern Indian state of Punjab. Our passion for Bhangra, our respect for our Indian roots and the colorful artistry of Punjab is represented our every act.
