NEW YORK: Shiamak USA kicked off their inaugural ‘Dance for Good’ initiative by supporting the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital’s ‘Young Voice of NYC’ event, at the Queens Theater, in Queens, on April 4.
The ‘Dance for Good’ program urges individuals and groups to dance for a good cause. It aims to share the joy of dance to heal, and bring a smile on people’s faces.
A talent show, which was hosted through the St. Jude fundraising program, was held to find the next Youth Ambassador for St. Jude.
St. Jude is one of the world’s premier centers for the research and treatment of pediatric cancer and other deadly diseases.
The participants ranged from six to 14 years of age. The St. Jude Young Ambassador title went to 11-year-old Sparsh Shah, who mesmerized the audience with his rendition of “Let It Go’ from Disney’s blockbuster animated movie ‘Frozen”. Shah, a wheelchair bound child with multiple sclerosis, wowed the audience with his positive energy and uplifting personality.
As the newly crowned ambassador, Sparsh won a one year dance scholarship with Shiamak USA and will be performing at the first Shiamak Summer Funk show to be held at the Montclair State University, on June 13.
Senior instructor and manager at Shiamak Davar International, Deeba Patel, was on the panel of judges, alongside Joya Dass, News Anchor at NY1 and CNN, Karen Hoyos, a motivational speaker and life coach, and Thara Natalie, a manager at Jay Sean.
