Founded in 2006, University of Floridas professional Garba/Raas dance team, GatoRaas has been Floridas premiere garba/raas team for the past 9 years. We compete locally and nationally every year, winning the Raas All Stars National Championship in 2010 and placing at other national competitions like Miami Mayhem. We always welcome support to join us at these events! We perform not only on the UF campus but also at private parties such as weddings, receptions, etc. in addition to our competitions.
Our goal is to always entertain our audiences across the US by performing the Garba/Raas style of dance at a highly competitive level. We are dedicated to preserving the Indian culture through showcasing our unique and vibrant dance form. We hope to spread our culture and traditions as well as encourage our audiences to embrace and enjoy Garba/Raas with the same passion we do.
Our team members dedicate vast amounts of time from their lives to be able to participate on this team. Being a full time college student while managing social lives and being on a team with such a large time commitment takes great dedication and pride in our art. Traveling to multiple competitions across the country carries a financial toll, on top of the costs of being a student. If you wish to help us in easing team expenses and want to be a part of our family as a Sponsor, visit the SPONSOR US! section of our webpage, where you can view available sponsorship packages.
It is always great to be a Florida Gator and its always the BEST to be a family member of GatoRaas. BoBoBo!
