Happy Holidays!!!

As the year comes close to an end, we celebrate achievements and appreciate our friends & family during various international holidays across the globe. We are in awe of how much Masala Bhangra® has grown this year and how involved you’ve all been. See our list of highlights below.
The coming year will be an especially exciting year, as we are celebrating the 15th year of Masala Bhangra®!! In honor of the 15th anniversary, Sarina will be sharing a personal message next month, so keep an eye out for the January 2015 newsletter.

2014 Highlights of Achievement

• The Masala Bhangra® Ambassador program traveled to the following countries for the first time: Indonesia, Australia, Palestine, Romania, China and Turkey. We are super excited to say that we are now in 20 different countries! This is quite an achievement!
• We created the Words of Inspiration Leather Band, which is a constant reminder to be encouraged and positive. This band is still available for purchase in our MB® Fashion store.
• We launched the MBW® Move, Touch and Transform Challenge, where we saw fans and students make big changes in their health.
• We released 2 new DVDs Bhangra Blast and Bollywood Blast, along with a brand new CD, Bhangra Blast Aerobic Music.
• Sarina Jain and a team of Ambassadors brought MB® to the Body Power Expo and FIBO Germany for the first time.
• World known Glamour Magazine featured us as one of the 8 Best Workout Classes You Haven’t Tried (but should).
• We launched an IndieGoGo Campaign that was amazingly successful thanks to our fans and supporters.
• Inspired MB® Ambassadors across the globe teamed together in an effort to help the needy and set class costs toward fundraising for the charity Home Under The Sky.
• The MB® World Dance team performed for their 3rd year on the stage at Alvin Ailey.
• A special shout out to Master Instructor, Dennis Thomsen, for bringing Masala Bhangra® to several different countries this year. Also to all Masala Bhangra® Master trainers for doing an amazing job in 2014! We look forward to growing more in 2015!

We have completed our 2014 Annual MB® Ambassador MELA in Mumbai, India. Ambassadors from around the world joined us for 3 days in Mumbai to educate themselves, experience the culture and take their MB® teaching skills to another level. We were blessed to have Jasbir Jassi join us, as well as Pammi Bai, King of Bhangra!

While celebrating achievements for the year we find it important to praise the people who put their passion into action by teaching Masala Bhangra® in their local communities. One of our Ambassadors has excelled so much, after training only a year ago. Ambassador Stephenie Skaferowsky is this years Ambassador of the Year. She has come a long way and has accomplished so much in a year, from taking all levels of training, to working under Sarina, to having three classes a week, to being an assistant for the World Dance at Ailey, to working towards becoming a Master Instructor in 2015. She also shadowed Sarina Jain in a China MBA® training as well as co-presented at the SCW Dallas! Way to go Stephenie!

This is what to expect for the coming year, from Masala Bhangra®. We will be re-launching the Level 1 MB® Ambassador training. It has been revamped and we are excited to hear what you think of the new outline of training. MB® now offers three levels of instruction, which allows our Master Instructors to have more time to thoroughly teach our soon-to-be Ambassadors. The new breakdown of levels also gives soon-to-be Ambassadors more time to explore the specifics of both dancing MB® and teaching it.
Masala Bhangra® will also be returning to the following great fitness expos and conferences, so plan ahead and attend any of the following 2015 events:

...and many other countries!
