Awesome flashmob video trending viral

A hundred young people with disabilities surprised thousands of shoppers at Auckland’ Syliva Park shopping mall on Saturday 9th June by performing to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way. In less than 6 weeks, these youngsters perfected their dance by watching the choreography on a Youtube video. They gave their performance after only one combined rehearsal which was staged in the early hours of Saturday before the shopping mall opened. The performers, known as Jammers, who travelled from as far as Wellington New Zealand, to participate in the flash mob are enrolled in StarJam’s weekly performance workshop programmes. This video is attracting significant views even soon after posting on Youtube. Please feel free to share it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-DZKB9wZV0&feature=youtu.be

Pre Christchurch Launch excitement

It's only two days until StarJam's Launch in Christchurch at the Court Theatre on Saturday 4th August. Excitement is building and the Jammers, especially with those flying to Christchurch from Auckland and Wellington to welcome the JamTabs (new Jammers from Canterbury). There's lots to look forward to including Jamming with Ray Woolf again. Nostalgia from the StarJam "All You Need Is Love" shows last year is compounded by some lovely memories of Ray hanging out with Jammers in both Hamilton and Wellington.

Watch out for news of the launch.
