IT’S the dance craze that’s swept across the globe and shows no sign of stopping. Now, it’s coming to a major Glasgow shopping centre.

A mass Baby Shark dance is being staged in intu Braehead to keep the global phenomenon burning, having gathered more than 1.6 BILLION views on YouTube.

Hundreds of children and their families are expected to turn up at the mall’s central atrium to pull out the crazy moves en masse - and there will also be people dressed in shark costumes to add to the spectacle.

The amazingly popular video of the dance will be played on the centre’s giant screen and dance instructor Rachael Keiller will lead the crowd, showing them all the moves they need to know.

The Baby Shark dance video about a family of sharks was created by Korean children’s educational YouTube channel, PIinkfong.

In the past few months, it has taken social media by storm and has seen groups and individuals film themselves doing the dance and posting it on social media.

Even better is the fact that the event is aiming to raise money for Children’s Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS).

Jonathan Clegg, community fundraiser at CHAS described how three children die every week in Scotland of a life-shortening condition. He said: “At present, we’re only reaching one of those families.

“The funds and awareness raised by intu Braehead helps us on our mission to reach every single baby, child and young person who needs us.

“We rely on the generosity of the general public to fund our services and we’re encouraging families to come along, have fun and donate to help us with our ambition.”

Lydia Brown, intu Braehead’s community development manager, added: “Anyone who has young children is likely to have seen the Baby Shark dance and it’s very simple to do, but also great fun.

“We’re inviting everyone to come along to the centre on to join us in our gigantic event.

“It’s free, but we hope people will give a donation to CHAS after taking part and having a great time. I’ve no doubt it’ll be so much fun we’ll do the dance quite a few times.”

All are invited to attend the dance at the centre at 11am on Monday, September 24 in the mall’s central atrium.
