Raw Elementz is the hip-hop fusion dance crew at Columbia. It was established in 2001 by former Culture Shock dancer Kristin Liu and has since grown to a troupe of about 30 dancers and breakers who practice twice a week. Raw Elementz is well-known for crowd-pleasing performances; these performances include many campus functions, from cultural shows to athletic events, as well as off campus performances. Raw Elementz consistently gets little tastes of everyone's dancing backgrounds as new members join: hip-hop, breaking, popping, locking, house, jazz, street-funk and even ballet. Raw encourages original choreography, as all the choreography that Raw performs is student-created.
Also affiliated with the dance crew are the Raw Elementz Breakers, who perform both separately and together with the dance crew. They hold separate auditions and rehearsals due to the audition nature, but most of the time both groups tend to perform as one single unit. Raw's breakers also consistently hold open sessions, helping to connect the breakers to the greater NYC breakdancing community.
