WPAA is a professional and fun academy. Coach Rana does an amazing job keeping kids engaged and also teaching them not only how to play dhol/dance but also what each step means and how it all comes together. Our son has developed a passion for playing the dhol and has made so much progress in a short amount of time!

We had Winnipeg Punjabi Arts Academy spend an entire day at our high school in December 2023. Ranveer was amazing to work with right from the time of my inquiry - he was very accommodating. Communication was prompt and professional. He led 5 simultaneous dance workshops (with a lunch break) with groups of students ranging in size from 20 and up to 50! He was engaging and managed the group effortlessly! The students loved the workshops and continue to talk about this experience. I would highly recommend WPAA for your events and workshops. We cannot wait to have them back to host more workshops!

I contacted Winnipeg Punjabi Arts Academy last minute for my sister’s wedding as we had a cancellation with our previous performer. They were professional, timely and the beats were on point! They made our celebration unforgettable. Big thumbs up and thank you for accommodating our last minute request! 🥁🎉 I highly recommended them for their talent and reliability.

The Dhol performance at our event was truly exceptional. We had the pleasure of booking their services for the jaggo, baraat, and reception party, and the memories they created through their remarkable skill were truly unforgettable. Their expertise in Dhol playing added an unparalleled level of excitement and joy to our celebrations, leaving a lasting impression on all our guests. We highly recommend their services for any special occasion.

This academy helps being out confidence, personality and social development of kids. My child has not only learned bhangra, but has developed social skills and gained confidence by performing on stage. Punjabiyat was a great platform and effort to connect with our roots and teach the youth about our heritage. The instructors that teach the kids are polite, energetic, and are always there to help motivate the kids.
