THE SHOWDOWN
January 25th, 2025
BHANGRA
East Coast Showdown is the intercollegiate Bhangra and Raas dance competition in Charlottesville, Virginia. At the University of Virginia, this culture of dance has been spread to other places of the nation with our premier competitive Raas team, HooRaas, and our premier competitive Bhangra team, UVA Di-Shaan. Through ECS, we hope to start a long-standing tradition of dance culture that can be performed and appreciated by participants and audience members of UVA and the surrounding community.
