United We Dance

Norwegian hip-hop dance group Quick Style had choreographed for popular Korean band BTS and featured on US TV show World of Dance, but it was a 12-minute spirited jig to a Bollywood-Punjabi medley at a fellow member’s wedding last year that propelled them to global stardom. Choreographed in a parking lot in Oslo on the day of the performance, Quick Style’s Bilal Malik led other members in the mission to not disappoint his twin brother-groom, Suleman, also the group’s chief choreographer. “Everything done with 100 per cent heart hits the heart,” says Bilal. The steps to one of the tracks, ‘Kala Chashma’, became viral, setting off a dance challenge on TikTok with enthusiasts recreating it in different settings.
