UW DangeRAAS Dawgs was founded in 2009 by two undergraduate students at the University of Washington and is the first collegiate Raas team to represent Seattle, WA. This team aims to promote the traditional dance forms of Garba and Raas. Both are folk dances originating in Gujarat, India and are typically performed during festivals like Navaratri and wedding ceremonies. As a team, we strive to create colorful performances combining traditional Raas with the newly invented form of collegiate competitive Raas.
