Michigan WolveRAAS

About

Originally founded in 2001, Michigan Wolveraas (Previously the Michigan Raas Team) is one of the oldest raas teams in the nation. A team steeped in tradition and fueled by passion, we have displayed and celebrated Indian heritage on and off campus for over a decade by spreading awareness of the vibrant dance form to fellow students, as well as competing and placing at competitions all across the nation. This year, we have come together with a thirst for innovation and a passion for dance to form a spectacle of creative formations, eye-popping moves, and high energy all while spreading the culture to our fellow students. Coming from a school of 40,000 students with a record-breaking football stadium that can hold about 110,000 people, Wolveraas knows how to do it big.

Garba and Raas Night

October 6th 2023
Aaryan Shah, Michigan Wolveraas

The event we hosted was a school-wide Garba/Raas, open to all. A Garba is a traditional dance event, commemorating the 9 day festival of Navarātrī. It involves several people making concentric dance circles around a lamp/table, and moving forward and backward with the music. We celebrated Indian heritage at the Garba with our fellow students performing our dance style in a more casual setting. It involved both Garba (first 1 1/2 hours) and Raas (next 1 1/2 hours) in an exhibition.
