Dubai Can Dance

"Dubai Can Dance is loosely based on TV reality-style shows such as Strictly Come Dancing," said Mark Povey, General Manager of Marketing and Events at Transguard Group, which is organising the first-of-its-kind show in Dubai.

"We took 10 couples and trained them for 10 weeks for the main event on May 23 where they will compete in front of some 500 dinner guests," he added.

The participants have braved 10 weeks of rigorous training, learning from scratch the samba, rumba, waltz, bossa nova and other dance styles for the contest. On the big night, each couple will perform two routines.

The winning couple will be crowned Dubai Can Dance Champions.

The response has been overwhelming, said Povey. "We had to choose 10 couples from some 50 who applied.

"We have professional stylists working on each couple to make them look glamorous and spectacular. The event is going to look amazing. We even have Aton and Erin from the UK’s Strictly Come Dancing performing a routine to show us how it really should be done," he said.

He said the inspiration for the event came from the success of their White Collar Fight Nights – a corporate fight night series in Dubai. (PR)
