Forget flash mobs, it’s all about shuffling. Hailed from the pop phenomenon of LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem,” shuffling has taken over Kupang. Kids shuffle whenever and wherever possible: weekend nights at the park, break time in the hallways and classroom corners of our school, at the bus stop, and more.
At the city wide talent show competition my students performed their choreographed shuffling dance and rocked it. The talent show was also organized by the students themselves for all of the other high schools in town. Amongst a dance competition, there was also battle of the bands and a ‘fashion’ show, which was more like a beauty pageant. The event was a huge success.. one of my favorite nights in Kupang so far.
