Duke DBS Raas

Daal Bhaat Shaak Raas - Duke's competitive raas-garba team Dal Bhat Shaak (DBS) Raas is one of Duke's competitive dance teams.

We are a group of friends that came together in hopes of sharing and expressing our heritage to our friends, family and community through raas-garba. Raas-Garba is a folk dance from Gujarat, India which focuses on energy, expression, formations, and religious themes. We hope to share our love of dance with you throughout the year during on-campus performances and at national competitions!
