Everything is an organisation

In this book, the organisation is the community: dancers, musicians, venues and audiences who keep a tradition alive only as long as they keep organising it.

Inside the book

D1 · Discovery

Learn what fitness centres expect

Trace bhangra from harvest to stage to studio, and keep a class log of what actually happens in sessions.

D2 · Dream

Picture a fitness-standard class

Structured warm-up and cool-down, levels for every body, and a room where newcomers feel welcome.

D3 · Design

Design for everyone

Low-impact options for every jump, rest between high-intensity sections, and a class description that says what people get in plain words.

D4 · Defend

Keep standards and keep checking

Measure retention, keep standards as it scales, and run a quarterly community check: can people disagree, miss a class, and come back?

Finish with a plan

The book closes by setting up a Todoist project called Organise Bhangra, with a section for each D and the Habit Tracker integration switched on.
