Raas for a Cause is a fresh, new, organization with two goals in mind:
- Provide open minded individuals with the social stimulation they crave.
- Raise funds for organizations specializing in development for troubled and underprivileged youth, both in the San Francisco Bay Area and parts of rural India.
Staffed by talented volunteers with demanding day jobs, Raas for a Cause strives to put on classy Raas events – events that expose a beautiful, interactive Indian dance into the mainstream.
What is Raas?A festive dance originating in Gujarat, India, Raas is an energetic dance style performed with sticks, called Dandiyas. Raas is not only easy to learn, it is intoxicating. Meet new people as you change partners every few seconds. Move to amazing beats. Add your own style. You'll be left breathless and energized...And if you're not the dancing type, not to worry – simply watching others get into the music is mesmerizing.
Experience Raas for yourself.Join us in San Francisco on August 7th, 2009 for the first Raas for a Cause event in San Francisco.
