RAW VIP

 

Sunday 19 February, 2005

Dallas Brooks Centre, East Melbourne

RAW and 2RAW brought out the best of the fresh new crews – and they got their names on the VIP list – for “RAW VIP”.

RAW VIP put the top new crews (the winners from our previous RAW and 2RAW dance comps) against the top experienced crews invited by ViKiNGS, from Melbourne and interstate. 

But RAW crews beware – getting on the VIP list was the easy part…

 …“RAW VIP” was the ULTIMATE RnB/Hip-hop dance competition
