Shakira has a challenge for you: can you do the Waka Waka dance? We're looking for as many Shakira fans as possible to do the dance for the organization 1GOAL in support of their project to promote universal education.
The idea behind this campaign is very simple: record yourself dancing the Waka Waka (the dance for the official FIFA World Cup 2010 song, by Shakira feat. Freshlyground). Just follow the steps shown by the dancers in the video. When you have your video ready, please upload it to YouTube and mark it as a response to the instructional video showing at Youtube.com/shakirawakawaka.
People throughout the world have already begun uploading their videos, even FC Barcelona, the newly-crowned champions of the Spanish League, danced the Waka Waka last night during their celebrations.
So, do you accept the challenge?
Join in and let’s all dance for education: 1 song, 1 dance, 1GOAL!
