Yukon’s favourite inspirational dancer, Gurdeep Pandher, has joined forces with Edmonton’s Ukrainian Shumka dancers.
“We wanted to show unity, togetherness — that we here in Canada, or in the world we are together for Ukraine, for the people of the Ukraine,” Pandher said.
In a video posted to social media, they blended their two dance styles together — Punjabi bhangra dancing and traditional Ukrainian dancing.
“It gave us a way to just highlight the strength, resiliency and the pride of Ukrainian people and the battles they’re fighting over there,” Ukrainian Shumka dancer Elyse Dzenick said.
Pandher is known for his uplifting videos, using his platform to share powerful messages.
“It’s very important for me to give those reminders every single day to people. It’s like daily affirmations,” Pandher said.
“I like to remind people that, ‘Hey, actually we are one people, we are one human race. We belong to not just one corner, we belong to the whole planet.’”
He and the Shumka dancers learned each other’s dances through virtual training sessions.
