Shoppers visiting Deira City Centre during the forthcoming Dubai Summer Surprises (DSS) will have the opportunity to take a walk on the wild side, watch some cool hip-hop choreography, experience the wonder of music and plenty more over the nine-and-a-half weeks of mall activities that mark Dubai’s shopping celebrations.

The festivities at the popular mall kick off on June 19 with an act sure to please lovers of urban music. UAE’s top dancers will be rocking the crowd with their hip-hop freestyle choreography; playing three sets a day until June 25.

Full of confidence, balance and impeccable timing, an extremely popular Arab football juggler will be impressing visitors at Deira City Centre from June 26 to 30 with his remarkable juggling and ball control skills.

The theme of dancing follows next with a decidedly comical twist from July1 to July 9.

‘Dance Heads’ uses state-of-the-art technology to superimpose participants’ heads onto dancing characters, as they sing along to their favourite pop tunes. Add in a fully animated background, with monitors for viewers to watch, the result is a performance that is as hilarious as it is mesmerising - one that is certain to be a sure-fire hit with both adults and children alike.

Youngsters wanting to discover their own abilities to produce melodic tunes will get the chance from July10 to 23, when a large, interactive stage is installed to allow them to appreciate the wonder of music. A stunning acrobat show with performers specially flown in from Romania will follow next from July 31 to  August 4.

Dubai’s top photojournalists and photographers will then display their best works at a photography exhibition in the Centre’s Jewellery Court from August 12t to 18.

Lastly, setting the perfect finale to the festivities will be a specially installed stroll-through jungle exhibition featuring animatronic figures of wild animals, lush shrubbery and trailing vines from August 7 to 22.

It is not just events and exhibitions that will attract visitors to the mall. Customers who spend Dh300 ($81) in any of the outlets throughout the festival will be entered into a weekly draw to win Dh25,000, and a grand prize of Dh500,000.

In its 11th year as a key sponsor of DSS, Deira City Centre continues to provide a host of fun and wholesome family entertainment and attractive prizes that is sure to appeal to everyone. – TradeArabia News Service
