People around the world are coming together to join in a dance craze to the song “Jerusalema” which is originally from South Africa. The song by Master KG and Nomcebo Zicode has been streamed more than 60 million times on spotify and films of people joining the dance as part of a global challenge have gone viral.

Healthcare workers from all over the world have joined in. There is a great clip in the link above of hospital staff at Alberlito Hospital in South Africa performing the dance together.

Here is a great compilation of people around the world performing the dance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tq-e_7j_UYc

The challenge was started by a group of friends in Angola who filmed themselves just before lockdown. Since then the dance has gone viral with thousands of uploads to youtube. Here are Catholic priests from Montreal performing the dance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43V0KdTbqxI

-        When you watch the video how does it make you feel?

-        How are the people in the video feeling when they dance?

-        The people could have performed the dance alone; why did they all choose to perform with friends?

-        What do you notice about the people performing; are they all the same? How are they different?

-        What does this show about music and dancing and different people?

-        What can we learn from the people doing this dance?

-        Why is this about hope?

Why is this about No Outsiders?
