Garba Raas is an energetic Indian folk dance originating in Gujarat that has now evolved into a full-fledged competitive dance circuit in America. Formed in 2007, Penn Raas is UPenn's very own garba/raas team composed of both undergraduate and graduate students and is an official SAC funded University of Pennsylvania club. 
In addition to performing in front of our hometown crowd at Penn, we have traveled across the country competing in several competitions such as Raas Chaos in Washington D.C., Maryland Masti, and Dandia on Fire at Penn State, even qualifying to compete at the Raas-All Stars National Championship in Dallas, TX in 2010. 
Each year, we hope to spread the passion of this dance form with traditional music mixed with upbeat tunes, a wildly vibrant choreographed dance piece, and strong facial energy that reflects the pure joy and fun of dancing with your friends that become family on stage.
