Talking about the association with Disney+ Hotstar’s Home Dancer, ShiamakDavar said, “To tell you the truth, the lockdown is challenging for all of us and over the last two months, my instructors and everyone else in our team has been dancing from home or teaching people to do so. So, when I first heard of Home Dancer, which revolves around this co nc ept, it resonated so strongly with me and my team that I just knew we had to be a part of it. It is a creative and refre shing way to encourage the spontaneity amongst consumers and engage with them from the comfort of their homes”
Elaborating on how the flash mob was put together under the lockdown phase, he further added, “Making this (flash mob) happen was certainly a challenge since there are performers from different cities in India and all are dancing remotely from their homes, they are Home Dancers, therefore I’m sure the viewers will find this performance very ref reshing and entertaining. I am hoping it will bring a smile on their faces. I look forward to helping India dance their way to win big on Home Dancer.”
