Amongst Indian Diaspora

This is mostly a show item where college students of Indian origin mix non-stop Raas music with strong drum beats and stunts, coordinated with various themes. They freely mix traditional steps with other steps. Some attest that this is because the dynamic nature of raas represents the circle of life and the beating heart, and is a live folk form that has changed with time and will keep changing.
