Welcome to RAW
Welcome to the website of RAW ELEMENTZ, the HIP-HOP fusion dance troupe at Columbia! We incorporate various styles of dance - like jazz and street-funk - alongside breaking and popping. We perform at many campus functions, from culture shows to athletic events, as well as off campus at other schools and as community service.
If you are interested in dance and Raw Elementz, besides becoming member of our troupe, we also offer Move and Grove classes taught by troupe members. These classes are fun and open to everyone regardless of dance background and ability!
New York City is the world center of dance, so if you’re looking for other places around the city to explore dance, check out the resources section for links to dance studios and dance events throughout the city.
