"Sticking of the tongue"
I never said anything about relevance to the theme. My point is that sticking out your tongue is a gesture to ward off evil spirits in some Polynesian cultures, but in context of Raas it would be and should be considered an obscene gesture, and most judges that have any understanding of traditional Raas would take off points for that just as they would for using Hindi Bollywood songs (as UCLA did in 2007). I do understand their reason for using it, but I think it goes to show their lack of understanding of the basic traditions.

Dear Sir
Would you have an email address: I have a query about starting competitive raas in the UK.
Regards
Dee
