Sups meaning “snakes” is a popular prop used while doing bhangra. Made out of robust wood, the sups are a series of equal length flat wooden pieces held together with a metal nuts/bolts. The sups have two handles on the sides which allow the bhangra dancer to open and close the interlocking wooden pieces. Each time the sups are closed they make a clapping sound which is mostly in rhythm with the dancers moves. Many of the moves with sups are fast paced and add a lot of energy and variety to the dance. This item is a favorite amongst many bhangra teams.
