NORTH DELTA – Over 1000 performers painted the city pink in an entertaining and more importantly a socially driven flash mob. Supporting a drive against bullying, performers from The SHIAMAK Dance Team – Vancouver accompanied by students of six schools -Sands Secondary School ,McCloskey Elementary School, Jarvis Elementary School ,Hellings Elementary School, Gibson Elementary School, Annieville Elementary School from the lower mainland came together and danced on the grounds of North Delta Secondary School.
“STOP BULLYING!, it hurts people, people commit suicide, they get very depressed, that time of their life when they are bullied, they remember it for the rest of their life. It’s a very hurtful phase.”,says Shiamak Davar, the Founder and Artistic Director of The SHIAMAK Dance Academy who also tweeted his thanks to BC Lions quarterback Travis Lulay for leading the performance and to Sean Bindra, the Event Director.
True to the song Can’t Stop the Feeling, the performance definitely generated an emotion that was positive. But the highlight of the performance was when Lulay, the SHIAMAK dancers and 1,000 school kids brought out their sun glasses and danced to the Bollywood hit song, Kaala Chashma (dark glasses). Their energetic display of dance was truly inspiring.
SHIAMAK Master Instructor and Manager, Rohan D’Silva who choreographed the performance felt great seeing so much support with a sole aim of standing against bullying.
