SHELLEY BHATIA
ABOUT ME
My name is Shelley Bhatia and I am one of the newest members of Bhangra Empire.
So, a bit about me? I graduated high school in 2007 and went straight off to medical school. In the 3 years I was there, I found out that there was much more to my life than becoming a doctor. I realized that in order to succeed in anything, I must be passionate about it to an intense level. One of my biggest passions since I was a child is teaching, and so I left the notion of becoming a doctor behind, and am now working towards someday becoming an Anatomy professor at a medical school.
If there was any one other passion that I loved and simply COULD NOT live without, it would be bhangra. About 5 years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to this wondrous art, and it has been a central part of my life ever since. It brought me closer to my culture, and I am grateful for everything it has given and taught me. Before bhangra came into my life, I was lost culturally and didn't know where I came from and what it meant. After discovering it, my life turned around completely, and I could not appreciate it enough for what it has done for me.
Bhangra Empire is the first team I ever saw perform when they were at DDA 2007, and I was amazed in an instant with how awesome they were (and are). Now, I am amazed that I get the chance to be a part of it, and I couldn't be happier about the opportunity. I never thought IN a million years that I would be dancing with a team I've admired FOR a million years. :)
