Interview: Mikail and Jie Hui from We Will Dance
Forget ZoukOut—We Will Dance is the outdoor boogie event we're championing this year. Not only is it a 10-hour-long sweat fest featuring all types of dances including Bokwa, hip hop and street jazz, it's also a fundraising party. Your attendance means you're donating money to any of the charities you've selected off the website or Giveasia.org. Registration's closed by now, but there's no reason why you can't check it out still. After all, we don't normally get this sort of events at the protest grounds. We chat with organizers Mikael and Jie Hui about what to expect.
