Raghav Juyal (Hindi: राघव जुयाल) (born 10 July 1991) is an Indian dancer and choreographer. He is renowned as the D-maniax King of Slow Motion for his surreal dance moves in slow motion style and for his flawless reinvention of the Slow Motion Walk. His stage name Crockroaxz best describes his dancing style which is an amalgamation of being powerful like a crocodile and creepy like a cockroach. Raghav has become a youth icon inspiring dancers, who gleefully imitate his trademark moves and dance style, popularly known as Crock-style.

He rose to fame after being a finalist in Zee TV dance reality shows like Dance India Dance (Season 3), as a skipper for the team Raghav Ke Rockstars in DID Li'l Masters 2 and Dance Ke Superkids. His team was declared the winner in Dance Ke Superkids under his captainship.

Career

2013-present

He is playing a pivotal role in upcoming Bollywood movie Sonali Cable produced by Ramesh Sippy Entertainment.

Influences

Raghav accredited learning dance from Internet and Television. He also gets inspiration from observing things that move and nature. He created a fusion mainly inspired from the slow yet powerful movements of a Crocodile and the swiftness of a Cockroach.

His signature step is his Slow Motion Walk. Choreographers like Remo D'Souza and Terrence Lewis have stated that, they had never seen anyone emulate the effect as realistically, before Raghav. Also Geeta Kapoor said that no one can do Slow Motion better than Raghav Juyal.

Personal life

He is the son of Deepak Juyal & Mrs. Alka Bakshi Juyal.

Raghav had never taken any formal training in dance, but picked it up from watching performances on internet and television. He started winning laurels as a dancer right from his days in Doon International School. Later, he joined DAV (PG) College to pursue his B.Com.
