Do you like free food? Do you like to dance?
If you said yes to any of those questions, the Pakistani American Students Association (PASA) invites you to Bhangra for Books, taking place in the Archie M. Griffin Grand Ballroom-East in the Ohio Union on November 16th!
Come enjoy some great food and learn how to Bhangra through a workshop being taught by one of Ohio State's finest dance teams, OSU Nashaa!
Following the workshops, enjoy the many performances we have lined up for the evening and show off your newly learned skills afterwards!

The proceeds from this event will support local, underprivileged Columbus City Schools in need of school supplies and summer reading books.
Wear comfortable clothing you can dance in (ethnic wear is acceptable!) and don't forget to bring a textbook!
