The dancers belong to all age-groups and they were performing a mix of Zumba, contemporary dance and basic yoga moves on a combination of Bollywood hits along with the theme song of WCF ‘Sangacchadwam’, i.e. we are a one world family.
Toddlers, school-children, college students, working professional, homemakers, parents, elderly enthusiasts came together for this record breaking performance today morning at Parliament Street, something for which they had been performing for the past 21 days.
This entire sequence is directed by Tarique Nasim Khan, a professional choreographer, who also is an international faculty with the Art of Living and has done immense peace building work in the war-torn gulf countries like Iran, Iraq and Syria.
“I’m on top of the world that so many people made the effort to come here and stand united to celebrate diversity, peace and humanity. It reaffirms the faith that there are a lot of good people in this world,” Tarique said.
The Art of Living Foundation is hosting a three-day celebration to mark 35 years of its service to humanity. The WCF will be held in New Delhi from 11th to 13th March. There will be 35,973 global artists who will be performing at the event as well.
