Jerusalema The Dance Challenge

[choux]

Something a little different lol.

I had not heard of this in the UK but have been sent several videos of it by my friend in Ireland. Apparently it originated when the song was released in 2019 but the dance element began in Angola in February 2019, where a dance troupe recorded themselves busting some moves to the song while eating their lunch. It has gone global.

I have seen videos of the Gardia, An Post (the Irish version of Royal Mail) but I do love this one:

Sisters are doing it for themselves :)

I think the Jerusalema challenge is great fun and seeing Ryanair post this on twitter last night had me craving a sunshine holiday, cheered me to see the golden sand https://mobile.twitter.com/ryanair/status/1364179699488804865

I hadn't heard of this. It looks fun, a bit like line dancing. I'm not sure I'd master the moves now, even if I could remember them.

A few of us are learning this remotely (a group I am in) and when we have it mastered we are gonna upload it on the socials - having great fun learning it, I don't think I will be doing a cartwheel or tumble over or the like - I love the nuns and the monks taking on the challenge, have seen the Gardaí and the An Post staff too, was great

I've not seen this before (thanks for the earworm! )
I'd say the Italians are really rocking it...looks like there are a few nuns in that group too.

Glad this has pleased most of you.

ducksie, I really can spell Gardai, just cannot type well enough! You will know well about the Irish ones I mentioned, really enjoyed them. I wish you and your group well with your performance, well done.

sadie, I was struck by the sheer delight on the nuns' faces too.

queen, they have cheered me up too, hope BA will also help.
