Raas Mania was founded at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in the fall of 2012. What started as a dream became a reality on February 23rd, 2013, with the first-ever Raas Mania, organized completely by Illinois students. Raas is a high-energy, Indian folk dance that originates in Gujarat. In 2021, the competition expanded to include bhangra teams, making Mania one of the largest competitions in the midwest. Bhangra is a high-octane Indian folk dance that originates in Punjab. Doors open at 4pm. Program starts at 4:30pm For more: Official Website: https://raasmania.wixsite.com/mysite Official Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/RaasMania/ Official Twitter: https://twitter.com/raasmania Official Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/raasmania/
