  • India Will Dance To The Global Smash ‘Despacito’
Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito Remix" featuring Justin Bieber has taken over the charts across the board and continues to be the biggest song of 2017!
 
The bilingual dance song is being credited for breaking barriers across territories and winning hearts worldwide. To celebrate the massive success of the song in India, Universal Music India & Shiamak Davar are launching a dance movement aptly titled The Despacito Movement. 
 
The movement encourages dancers from across the country to groove to the song and send in their rendition of choreography to it.
 
 
 
 
The Record label has kicked off this campaign on their social media pages for fans to send in their entries. The best dancers will be handpicked by the master of choreography SHIAMAK DAVAR himself to be a part of an epic India dance video for the song. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity for dancers to be a part of this dream collaboration.
 
 
For the first time, ever, an Indian Dance Video will be choreographed for a global hit of this magnitude. The video will showcase an Indian twist to the Spanish song and will be premiered exclusively India’s only lifestyle and music channel Vh1.
 
 
Sharing excitement for the collaboration, choreographer Shiamak Davar said, “I'm excited to get the opportunity to choreograph the India Video for Despacito. I'm all for collaborations especially when it helps us showcase the uniqueness in our Indian Style, movement and choreography. I love the song and I'm really looking forward to choreographing the video!”
