Entitled "dance away all differences", the performances at Karachi's Arts Council on May 3rd were absolutely stunning.

There were performances put together by Nighat Chaodhry, Munawar Chao, Farrukh Darbar, Wahab Shah, Adnan Jahangir, Cyril James, Balochi Dance Group, Sabiha Zia, Suhaee Abro.

The performances ranged from contemporary to classical to mystical and traditional. The night was a constant hit after hit with choreography and costuming set to dazzle the crowd with pastel colours and hypnotic moves. The crowd also enjoyed themselves as they whistled, danced and applauded the performances.

It was a night to remember for Karachi as the city had transformed itself into a city of endless shining.
