Dholrhythms is an organization dedicated to raising awareness and educating people about the cultural and artistic heritage of India.

Dholrhythms hosts classes, workshops, performances, and events all dedicated to sharing the folk dances of Punjab, India known as Bhangra and Giddha.

Dholrhythms was created as a work of love by Vicki Virk who was born and raised in Punjab, India and Suman Raj who was born and raised on Fiji Islands. Though raised on opposite sides of the world, destiny brought them together to share their passions. Their love for community, culture, outreach, dance, the arts, and empowerment of women gave birth to Dholrhythms in 2003.

Since its inception, Dholrhythms has had the privilege of colloborating, performing, and sharing the stage with some of the most innovative and well known artists and organizations in San Francisco Bay Area ranging from World Arts West, Yerba Buena Center For The Arts, Stern Grove Festival, Pier 39, De Young Museum, Sony Metreon, San Francisco Magazine, Yoga Journal Conference, Asian Art Society, Michael Franti, Anoushka Shankar and many more.

Our Vision is to cultivate dholrhythms into a boundless, undefined, and unique platform for people of diverse backgrounds to come together, learn something new, express themselves freely and dance in a non-competitive and positive environment.
