ALMOST 500 people, young and old, turned up for the 7th Unity X’mas Line Dance Party and danced the night away in unison to 72 songs both new and old. The group danced to 72 songs at the event which included a wide range of music including current hits like Poker Face by Lady Gaga and Jai Ho by Pussycat Dolls.

The event was organised by the Petaling Jaya Utara Line Dance Council and co-organised by Selangor Wanita MCA, Persatuan Kemajuan Wanita Petaling Jaya and Rukun Tetangga SS2B Petaling Jaya.

Party organising chairman Elena Tan said the event tickets were sold at RM16 each

The current hit songs we’re dancing to these days make me feel young. My favourite has to be the Lady Gaga song,” Sharon Liew Yoke Heong, 48, said.

Shereen Ho Yie Wen, 22, a student has been enjoying the classes she has been attending for the past three months.

“My mother brought me to a similar party a few months ago and it was fun and I was convinced to join beginner classes three months ago,” Ho said, adding that the song variety was good.

For 70-year-old Jenny Chung Kwai Fong, staying home after retirement was boring and she had sought out an activity that involved music.

“I thought dancing was beautiful and graceful. Line dancing songs feature all kinds of music and it’s the perfect hobby for me,” Chung said.


David Yeoh Yeong Hei, 47, a salesman had been stressed and was recommended line dancing by a female friend.

“I never really liked dancing but line dancing is something else. It’s like a workout and I find myself less stressed after I started doing it,” Yeoh said.
