The University of Chicago Raas Team

We will be hosting tryouts the first or second weekend of fall quarter! We will be teaching basic steps and talking a little about what exactly raas is and what we do. (We know you’ve never heard of raas before, but you should still come.) Any undergraduate or graduate UofC student is welcome to tryout. Both guys and girls are needed on the team, as we need an equal number of guys and girls to compete.

Please email us with any questions. More info will be posted as the date approaches.

We will be having tryouts for the 2010-2011 competitive team on Sunday, May 9th, 2010 at 5pm in the Ida Noyes Dance Room. Anyone interested in dance is welcome to join us. Absolutely no experience is needed!

If you are unable to make it, or have any questions please email captains@chicagoraas.com for more information.

We will be performing a short dance at the University of Chicago Diwali Garba, on Saturday, November 1st, at International House.

The Loyola University Garba will be held tonight. Anyone who wants to go is welcome to join us. We will be meeting in the Ratner lobby at 6:15pm. From there, we will go as a group to and from the garba using public transportation. Dinner will not be served at the garba, so please eat before meeting at the Ratner. Please wear Indian clothes if possible. This event should last until about midnight.

See you there!

UChi Raas Team will be taking a trip to the Loyola Navratri Garba on Friday, October 10th 2008. The garba runs from 6pm to 11:30pm. Tickets for the garba cost $5. More information at Tryouts.
