In life, it is important to break it down and show the crowd how it’s really done, with dance moves. AirAsia has done it, this Foodpanda delivery rider has done it, and every day, someone is shuffling.
The most recent viral story of a dance routine was at a military tattoo performance at the Tuanku Syed Putra Stadium in Kangar, Perlis, which went viral over the weekend. Malaysians could not get enough of the armed forces’ smooth moves. The performance, believed to have been by the Central Band of the Royal Malay Regiment and the Platoon Serunai, was part of the Silver Jubilee celebrations of the Raja of Perlis.
At 98,000 shares, over 1,000 comments, and 12,000 shares, the TikTok video showed band members in full regalia in a pulsating formation, in a rare fusion of tradition and contemporary enjoyment, commemorating the Perlis Sultan’s 25th anniversary on the state throne. The mesmerising display even included tossing batons up in the air, and one of the drummers joined the shuffling group from behind to the front with band leaders breaking it down like there’s no tomorrow.
Just as electrifying is the line-up of songs ranging from LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” to traditional Malay, to Rosé and Bruno Mars’ “APT”, to “Hold My Hands” by the Beatles. The flashing lights and cheering crowd truly completed the spectacle, making it a performance to behold. Online, netizens also applauded the band in the comments.
“Owner of the shuffling soldier present!” “Stadium lights present!” “Grass present!”. Jokes aside, there is no lack of enthusiasm for the display; many netizens praise the contemporary spin on what seems to be such a formal ritual. Some speculated about the approval of the shuffling because it seemed so far out that the big suits would approve of such a contemporary move.
What do you think about the viral performance?
