00:00Dance fans in Dubai are in for a treat as Sharmila Dance throws its 14th annual extravaganza
00:13at DuckTac this weekend.
00:15The show highlights a variety of different dance styles and will feature over 200 dancers
00:19ranging from amateur to professionals, performing an array of choreography and proving their
00:23hard-won skills to adoring fans.
00:26Today is our first proper stage rehearsal, so we'll be doing blocking of the movements
00:33on stage where people stand, where the props come in, and then we'll go through a proper
00:39run-through.
00:40If you love dance, you're going to love this show because it's got jazz, it's got hip-hop,
00:44it's got Latin flavour, it's pretty much anything that you love.
00:49It's a show that I would love to watch, whether it was me choreographing it or not, I would
00:52love to go and see so many youth and adults that are so passionate about dance and you
00:58can definitely see it on stage, but I hope you can't.
01:11The growth of the show over the years has motivated both dancers and choreographers
01:15alike to rehearse tirelessly in the days leading up to the big event, honing their skills to
01:19ensure the show is a continued success.
01:21If something just comes over you and you just think like, this is my time, right or wrong,
01:28remembering choreography, forgetting, pointing feet, flexing, anything, it just doesn't matter.
01:35It doesn't matter.
01:36It becomes one thing that you own and you're in control of and you're like, I'm ready to
01:42give my heart, I'm ready to just let it all out.
01:50With a myriad of skills and styles on display, this event is sure to appeal to a wide audience
01:56and is a must-see for fans of dance and newcomers alike.
