Apr 20 - Casemates Flashmob Seen By Thousands

Written by YGTV Team on 20 April 2015.

The Gibraltar National Dance Organisation and Santos Productions performed a Flashmob at Casemates Square in the presence of the Chief Minister on Saturday morning.

The Flashmob, under the artistic direction of Christian Santos, is part of the organisers’ marketing strategy to encourage as many dancers and spectators to come to Gibraltar in October for the 2015 IDO European Show Dance Championships.

The Flashmob saw over 300 Gibraltarians taking part from CCC Sequence Dance, DSA Sequence Dance, Gibraltar Academy of Dance, Mediterranean Dance School, Show Dance Company, Stylos Dance Studios, Transitions Dance Academy and Urban Dance. The recording will be the third promotional video for the European competition. It will be professionally produced by Jordan Lopez and Gib Media.

GNDO President Seamus Byrne said:

‘It has being an emotional and historic occasion to see the majority of Gibraltar’s dance community, young and the young at heart, coming together to support us in such numbers. We are very grateful to the clubs, their members and the press for the support, especially when we tried to keep it as confidential as possible.

“Seeing the video post by YGTV with over 38,000 views and 1,600 likes in social media,  we are certain that the Flashmob will once again contribute to the promotion of Gibraltar nationally and internationally through Dance!”

The IDO European Championships that is fully supported by the Government of Gibraltar will be held at the Tercentenary Sports Hall from the 1^st to 4^th October 2015. Local dancers will be given the opportunity to qualify for the competition, via a National Championship that is been organised at the John Mackintosh Hall Theatre from the 7^th to 9^th May 2015.
